I’ve been moving around the smartplugs in my home and am now frustrated with the old and inaccurate names I need to use with Alexa. “bedroom lamp” should now be “office light”, for example. Is there some easy way to rename plugs and other devices for Alexa even after they’ve been in use for a while?
I’m a huge fan of the Amazon Kindle and have one that I carry with me. Sometimes I’m just sitting in front of my PC at work and want to keep reading my book, but on screen. Is there a Kindle reader for Windows? If so, where do I download it?
I understand that there’s a way I can teach my Amazon Echo device to differentiate voices and answer differently depending on who’s talking. How can I set that up so Alexa recognizes me?
I heard on the radio that regular users can contribute answers to weird and obscure questions people ask their Alexa device. Sounds fun! How can I get involved?
I understand that my Amazon Echo devices can actually serve as a home security system, listening for broken glass, smoke alarms, and more. So cool! How do I enable this feature?
Hey Dave, I read that every time I say something to my Amazon Alexa / Echo unit, a human listens to it too? Is there a way to opt out of that huge invasion of privacy??
I listen to Sirius XM quite a bit off my phone and in my car, but I would like to have access to it through Amazon Alexa too. Possible? If so, how do I get it all hooked up and connected?
My kids keep telling our Amazon Echo unit to order candy and comic books. I’d like to just disable it, rather than argue with them. It’ll also save me throwing Alexa through the window one afternoon! Is there a way to disable voice shopping?
