Now that we’re moving into the dark of winter, I would like to have the lights in my house turned on at a specific time every evening. I hate walking into a dark house! Is that easily done with Alexa-enabled lights?
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 use the Calendar app on my iPhone to manage my schedule and am wondering if there’s a way that my Alexa devices can access my schedule too?
When I walk in to my house, I want to say “yoohoo, home again” and have my house come to life. Lights, the furnace changes settings, the door locks behind me, etc. How can I set this up with my Amazon Alexa and all my smart home devices?
I’m afraid I might have broken something with my Amazon Alexa: Instead of answering requests, it now beeps. Which I find confusing! What’s going on and how do I have her talk to me again?
Hi Dave. I got a new Amazon Echo for Christmas and am a bit confused about the iPhone app. Do I need to use it? What are the best settings for a good Echo / Alexa experience?
I read that you can now hook all your Amazon Echo [Alexa] units together into a speaker group and play music on all simultaneously. Very cool! How do I set this up with my own Echo and Dot units?
I want to be able to use my Amazon Echo as a speaker for music coming from my iPhone. Is that even possible via Bluetooth?
