As the title says, I am unable to link the Hue skill. Every time I try, I get the message "Unable to link the skill at this time, please try again later. Tried every day for the past five. Does anyone have any feedback/input?

EDIT: I am trying to RELINK my Hue hub to Amazon Alexa

So I randomly took my old Alexa back out and was using it and he responded normally but then whispered quietly something quick and incomprehensible almost like brick from the middle but quieter?

We are thinking of getting an Alexa Show. We listen to a lot of Audible books. Does anyone know if Audible is playable on an Alexa Show?

Anyone successfully connect vornado ara to alexa? I have a Tapo H110 but it will only connect to IR remotes, sadly that vornado ARAs remote is not IR

As in “play meditation music for two hours” Now it just keeps playing. Any suggestions?

I built RemoteRelay to make PC control from Alexa more useful than just a basic wake command.

It supports Wake-on-LAN, remote shutdown, custom commands, camera/screen access, better suspend handling, and service mode before login. It also works with Home Assistant, HomeKit and Matter depending on the feature, and supports Windows, macOS and Linux.

Important: advanced features are in the paid plans from €12/year, and new users get a 2-hour Pro trial.

Would love honest feedback from Alexa users.

So basically I have all blink camera and created custom routine to show the camera when motion is defected on front door please check image but the last command doesn’t work as it keep showing camera view on Alexa device it doesn’t quit and take home after some period please suggest. Problem seems to be with last command where it doesn’t end the camera stream and take me to home after few seconds of showing it just keeps the camera on and live

I feel like the title says it all. After the recent Alexa updates, the un asked for commentary when adding simple things or putting together a grocery list is enough to make me want to ditch all of my Alexa devices and switch to Google. I’ve even told it to stop with the extra commentary. The update makes it trying to be a pal versus a tool.

Hey everyone my boyfriends birthday is coming up and one of the gifts I’m thinking about getting him is a Alexa device. He mentioned he wanted one just don’t know which one. Any suggestions on which one I should get him?

Hi,

So is there a way of Alexa responding to a custom phrase to complete an action?

For example instead of me saying Alexa turn the living room lamp on I want to say ‘let there be light’ and ‘let there be darkmess’ for her to switch light on / off!

Is this a thing? Just for shits & gigs!

I have Alexa+. She was playing white noise. I asked her to pause it. She replied, "Already paused, like a mime in a snow globe."

I think I’m losing whatever little bit of mind I have left. Are any of you getting these weird responses to requests?

Thanks.

I'm trying to create a custom skill in my amazon echo show. I've had an issue linking my account to my Spotify account using my developer credentials. I have premium so this is not an issue. I created an app on Spotify to generate the client id, client secret, added the redirect URIs from the alexa developer console to my spotify app, and added the scopes I require.

When I test on the developer console it doesn't get the access token from Spotify. I also can't link my account on the Amazon Alexa app. When I click the button nothing happens and no prompt is shown. My code lives in an AWS lambda function and configured the Alexa Skill Kit with the proper build id. The function works but I just cannot seem to link my account.

Can anyone provide any guidance?

About 3 weeks ago, Alexa updated with newly designed Alexa app Reminders on iPhone, and the reminders no longer worked, or has a mind of its own, messed up my life and work so much.

First, it was not listed chronologically like before, and also any modifications I did on the reminders are not sticking. Keeps going back to previous time settings, and send the notifications whenever it wants. How could Amazon screw things up so much?
