The number of times I've said "Alexa, turn on the lights" and she's responded with "Just so you know, {something inaudible}"
I've tried saying "say that again", "please repeat that" and I can't remember what else, and her response is always "There is nothing to repeat".
Yes I've Googled. No, I haven't got the Alexa App and I really, really don't want it.
The Peas know everything. This has got to be something simple! What words am I supposed to use so she'll understand?

She's the most extra female in our house. In my experience, when she start with a just so you know, she's usually telling me that I can set up a light schedule in the app. So maybe this is her sly way of getting you to get the app.

No way do I want a thing on my phone that listens to me and pipes up random rubbish whenever I say "extra" or "etc". I was watching Ghostbusters the other day with DH, and when they got slimed, I laughed and said "ooh green ectoplasm!" and she started talking.   |

My Alexa app doesn’t pipe out random sayings as the Amazon Echo can do sometimes. The app is quite but is very helpful to me when I am not home or when I need to view my shopping list. It’s a great app, IMO. When I want Alexa to repeat something, I just say “Alexa, repeat” - as mentioned, it doesn’t always work when she’s giving you a suggestion though. |

I love it when she starts talking to the tv when it calls her. |

I will agree that she is very helpful. I order from Amazon enough that she is great at letting me know when my ink is low or when I need to replenish many of my dog and bird supplies. |

DH has notifications set up for her. They're usually saying something has been delivered, a weather alert, or that a price has changed. But again, I can never hear what it's about when she starts talking when I'm just leaving the room, or am on the phone, or the TV is on.

I have a 6pm weather notification that I’d just like to STOP, but I can’t seem to get there with her. lol
I’ve done everything I can think of in the APP, but can’t stop it. She keeps instructing me to go to App then Settings but won’t do it herself.
I can live with it but it’s just become annoying.
Help!

Open the Alexa app on your phone Tap on "More" on the bottom-right Select "Routines" Select Your Routines (at the top) Select the weather routine that is set for 6pm Select disable |
