Has anyone has Alexa+ randomly start Turing on various lights in the middle of the night? It seems like mine will start Turing on various lights at intervals throughout the night, waking me up by turning on the bedroom lights around 1:30am. I can’t figure out what’s happening.

I’m wondering if I should just power cycle the entire house and see if that fixes it.

Edit: nope, away lighting is all messed up. She think I’m away while I’m sleeping and starts turning on random lights all over the place. That explains it. Even though my phone (which is supposed to trigger away lighting) is sitting n the house, 10 ft from my echo show 8 when I’m asleep, she turns on random lights at varying intervals. I also snore, so she should be picking up on the noise.

I've had consistent issues with Spotify being able to play on Alexa speaker groups even though Alexa music and Pandora would work.

Sometimes these would work:

1. Unplug and turn back on the Alexa devices.

2. Disable/reenable the Spotify skill in Alexa app.

3. Delete the speaker group in Alexa app, and recreate it (NOTE this step may mess up things like Alexa routines that referenced those groups)

BUT, sometimes I would do all those things, and still, no dice. I would just have to wait weeks until the problem went away

ChatGpt just told me about this step:

1. Remove access to Alexa from the Spotify page:

a. Go to Spotify’s Apps page. https://www.spotify.com/us/account/apps/

b. Find Alexa in the list of connected apps.

c. Click Remove Access.

d. Then in the Alexa app, go to More → Settings → Music & Podcasts → Link New Service and re-link Spotify with your credentials.

THIS was the process that fixed the problem for me this go around.

I have a full-size Echo 4th generation in one room, an Echo Dot 5th generation in another room and an Echo Dot 3rd generation, which is hooked up to a sound system in a third room. I have those all grouped together via Alexa Multiroom Music, but whenever I ask Alexa on any of the 3 devices to play music on that group or select it on Spotify, it only plays on the Echo 4 and the Echo Dot 5, not on the Echo Dot 3, even though it‘s in the same Multiroom Group. I checked the group, restarted the Dot, reconnected the Dot to the group, deleted and reset the group and set up another group that only contains the Dot 3 and Dot 5. Music never plays through the Dot 3, except if I play music on the Dot 3 without the other Echos. If I do that it plays perfectly fine but as soon as I try to play on multiple speakers it simply doesn‘t play. What can I do to fix that? Thank you so much for reading and for your help!

Edit: I don‘t use Alexa+ since it‘s not available in my country

It started a few weeks ago, I’ve gone into device settings and set the speaker to the built in one. And if I ask it to play in my room on the app. Then pause it from the device, and then tell it to play, it’ll say “moving amazon music stream”, and start playing in my sister’s room.

Every online direction says how to change the name of a device like an Echo or a TV, but when I click on the same spot for "Alexa on this phone" there is no option to change the name. I can't even see where it's named 11th Amazon Alexa. It just says that when a timer goes off.

I guess I have deleted the app or changed phones 11 times now. I just want to be able to change it to something normal. Please advise. Thank you in advance.

Recently installed GE Cync wired dimmer switch. Got set up with Cync app fine and working with Google Assistant. But trying to link the Cync app with Alexa keep getting error.

On Android 15 and tried reinstalling both apps but the error persists.

Hi,

anyone knows if this smart button works with Alexca routines, without any other HUB?

Hey everyone! I’m thinking about upgrading my Alexa. I currently have this one (pic attached) that I got in 2021, but I’m not totally sure which model it is. I’m considering getting the Echo Show 5.

My main question is: which one has the better speaker for playing music loud, and would I notice a real difference?

Trying to set up my smart watch on the Alexa app but it says it needs to update, but the app is updated. How to fix this?

I created a group of all my Alexa devices and when I ask Alexa to play music on the group, she acknowledges me and plays the music only on one unit. They are all on the same wifi…. They show up in the app and I can adjust the volume (but nothing happens)…. Any idea how to fix this?

Update your Halloween jokes please. You keep telling me the same joke about why the skeleton won’t go trick-or-treating.

I get it. He doesn’t have the guts.

New ones would be awesome please.

So, I've found that using the Alexa app on an Android device makes it easier for Alexa to read a specific book. When I verbally ask her to read a book, she hardly ever selects the right book. I wonder if this is because my Kindle library is over 12,000 books?

Anybody have an issue where the Calendar section on the Alexa app just won't load. It rarely displays the list and never allows the month view to be viewable. I reinstalled and called support. TBD if they find a fix but hopefully someone on here may have solved this issue.

Everything else works fine. I have an android and my wife has apple. (Share account) but neither work.....

I have Echo Show 10 and 15, and I still have not received an invitation to Alexa Plus. I signed up for the waitlist and changed my settings (my language wasn’t right) months ago. Still nothing. Is there anything further I can do to get access? Open a ticket with support or something like that??

I have 5 alexas in each room in my house.

When I say Alexa make an announcment she listens then does nothing. When I say it again she announces me saying Alexa Make an Announcement. Driving me crazy

Hello!

We just moved and I want to start over with all of our Smart Home devices. Things will be placed in different locations, routines won't work the same way anymore, and some skills need to be changed.

Is there a way to master reset everything instead of going into everything and deleting it? That will take way too long.

Thank you in advance!

Hey everyone, I own 2 echo studios and an echo sub. Currently I have one studio in my bedroom and a studio / sub pairing in my living room. I would like to be able to listen to audio files on my echo studio while being able to use the sub with it. I know bluetooth doesn't work, it'll only connect to the studio and won't activate the sub. Is there any other way to play personal files but be able to use the studio WITH the sub? I also know that with apple music you can upload your files to the cloud and stream it directly off alexa devices but I don't want to pay for another music service. Any ideas? Thanks!

For context I removed all my devices a few weeks ago and it somehow glitched out leaving behind a ghost version of living room echo dot that is impossible to remove and Amazon CS can't see it on their end, its also not listed at amazon.co.uk/mycd. As you can see when I re added the echo dot I tried changing its name to trigger something but it didnt Living Room echo dot is a ghost that needs removing Living Room echo 3 is the real device

Things ive tried: Amazon CS, Amazon.co.uk/mycd, uninstalling and reinstalling app, using the app on another device still has the ghost and is still un removable

Most of the complaints I see are from people who don’t realize they opted in to early access.
Some cool things about Alexa plus. You can edit and create routines by voice. That’s really nice. It learns.

My Apple Music account got disconnected a couple weeks ago. I asked Alexa to play a song. It said sorry you need to connect your Apple Music account. Would you like me to send you instructions? The app notification popped up on my phone, I clicked connect and it played the requested song.

I created a routine by voice to turn on stereo components and lighting.

Edited a routine by voice to set the temperature of lights when I say a phrase.

It’s very promising.

A few weeks ago I tried pairing a bulb and couldn’t do it. Could only get into pairing mode one out about 30 attempts, and scanning the code to pair didn’t work either. Gave up and got on a plane to visit my mom. We got to talking and I ordered her a pack to make life easier. Couldn’t pair them to her Alexa app. Came home and had replaced my modem and reset my WiFi (new name). Couldn’t pair the bulbs again. This is happening with bulbs I bought a year ago and brand new bulbs. I can’t be the only one.

So I added the other adult account to amazon family. What now ? I am not able to change anything in active programes, the alexa app doesn't show anything ? Am I missing some step ?

Every time I ask my Nest speaker to play something from Spotify, I can hear our Amazon Echo in another room telling me that I have notifications.

Does anyone have any idea why Alexa is attempting to interact with me at all when using a product in an unrelated ecosystem?

The notification system on Alexa is all around frustrating. I don't want to set it to do not disturb, but I have yet to find another way to stop it from pestering me constantly.

For a year or so, I was able to avoid ads on my Show devices by setting the language to US Canadian, but the other day, they came back.

Anyone have another solution?
