I have a weird issue, when I'm sitting in the library and say Alexa turn off the lights it targets the lights as expected but when I say Alexa turn off the lights in the library it switches everything off in the room even though the plugs are labled as plugs not lights. Any ideas? submitted by /u/EvaLizz [link] [comments]

I have a routine to turn on a light when water sound is detected by my Echo Show 8 in the kitchen. It had worked well for quite some time. Suddenly last week, it stopped. I tried moving the device closer to the sound. I tried turning off any other sounds that could interfere. I tried unplugging it and restarting. I rebooted my router. Nothing worked. I deleted the routine and recreated it. It worked. One time. I’ve repeated this 5 times now. The routine works once and then nothing. I have a routine that shuffles a Spotify playlist when it detects water in the bathroom that listens on a second generation Echo Dot that works most of the time. Is something new going on with water sound detect? Is there something gone wrong with the Show 8? It functions properly otherwise. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thanks! submitted by /u/juanfineday [link] [comments]

This happened yesterday and I’m still not sure what triggered it. My wife and I were watching TV in the living room. During a commercial we started talking about whether we should leave early the next morning because traffic has been getting worse lately. Neither of us said “Alexa.” A few seconds later Alexa suddenly lights up from across the room and says: “Traffic on your route to work is currently lighter than usual.” The room went completely silent. At first I thought maybe one of us accidentally said something that sounded like the wake word, so I just ignored it. Then my wife says, “That’s actually kind of creepy.” And Alexa immediately responds: “I’m sorry, I don’t know that one.” Which made both of us laugh because nobody was talking to her at all. I checked the voice history later. The recording started in the middle of our conversation and apparently Alexa interpreted part of it as a question about traffic. The weird part wasn’t that she got activated. That’s happened before. The weird part was how perfectly relevant her answer was to what we were discussing. Has anyone else had Alexa jump into a conversation at exactly the wrong (or right) moment? submitted by /u/ohnoad [link] [comments]

So for years Alexa would allow me to thumbs up, or thumbs down, a song that was playing. Years! Then about a year or more ago, Alexa couldn’t do this. She would say that this feature was only available on custom stations. Which pissed me off because this never was the case before. Fast forward to today…I am in our garage, which has an Echo Dot that my brother allowed it to switch to Alexa+ (or whatever they call it). So for shits and giggles I ask it to thumbs up a song that was playing Not only did Alexa reply that my feedback was save (which was her old reply when performing this action), but she also announced the artist, and the name of the song!! INCREDIBLE!!! I was so amazed!! So I tried it a few times with different stations, and different reactions (thumbs up/thumbs down), and it works perfectly. It was a momentous moment! So I came in the house, and tried it on the devices set with old Alexa, and she couldn’t do it. Said it wasn’t available to do. Couldn’t even tell me what song was playing. Did not even know music was playing!!! Has anyone else experienced this? submitted by /u/The_Circus_Life_206 [link] [comments]

Come faccio a capire se il mio sistema è stato promosso a Alexa+? submitted by /u/anacardo-rock [link] [comments]

Sto notando che con echo plus, dopo aver dato un comando, devo attendere 2-3 secondi prima che agisca. Dopo averlo riavviato, ritorna ad agire subito al ricevimento del comando. Trascorsa qualche ora, ricomincia a ritardare. Se non fosse che l’echo plus ha un’acustica migliore degli echo dot, lo avrei già mandato a pascere le pecore. submitted by /u/anacardo-rock [link] [comments]

As the title says, I’ve been getting a black screen on my echo show 15. Sometimes the screen is on and works but 60% of the time the screen is just black and won’t turn on but will turn on later by itself. This thing isn’t even a year old. If anyone has experienced this or knows how to fix it please help! What I’ve tried: Checking software updates (didn’t need to update) Plugging it into a different outlet.

As someone who generally doesnt mind AI and uses it frequently, what the hell were they thinking making weather alert push notifications trigger a chat with Alexa+ that usually says that there is no such alert in your area?!?!?!? what a bone headed design change submitted by /u/Imaginary_Belt4976 [link] [comments]

I’ve always had this problem, so I chalked it up to my own memory misfiring, but since Alexa+ got forced onto me, it’s gotten worse. I have a cat with a medication schedule— fast for an hour, pill, fast for another hour, and in the evenings, a second round of meds after that hour —so, being able to say, “Alexa, one hour,” or “Alexa, one hour timer, please,” or any variation thereof and have a timer set has been a godsend. But sometimes I set timers and they just… Don’t go off? And when I ask her about it, she has no record of a timer. It could still be argued that it really is me just remembering all the times I’ve done it before and thinking I’ve done it this time, or acknowledging the timer going off while busy and forgetting to do the actual thing… If not for today. Today, I know FOR SURE that I set a timer. I even asked her to confirm the duration, because sometimes she’ll say a timer is set and then when I immediately ask how long is left, there’s nothing. It didn’t go off when it was supposed to. Am I the only one with this issue? submitted by /u/ThotticusPrime420 [link] [comments]

Hi, I'm looking at trying to get more out of my alexa with routines however am unsure if I'm thinking of ideas that just are not possible currently or if there are some other work arounds. My two ideas are: When a detected familiar face (saved profile or saved via the recognizable faces on ring doorbells) that then turns on light within specific areas such as living room, bedroom and garden to help during the night when returning home. To automatically set alarms according to my calendar. I work varying shifts that can change from nights to days within two or three days. I would like Alexa to be able to read my calendar and then set a specific alarm to ensure I wake up for said shift. Are these possible? Any suggestions on how to do this or what I could do to enable these to be done? submitted by /u/Limp-Criticism-4826 [link] [comments]
