“Alexa stop” is a handy voice command.
Sounds neat! Maybe I’ll get one...
The NSA thanks you for your cooperation.
Isn’t it creepy to have an electronic box always listening and recording everything you say?
Later today I will be getting a Kindle Fire Table with Alexa.
I will be watching this post by you to get some hints.
We don’t watch Faux TV, but I do go to their internet site for some news. I can use Alexa for Faux news and our local tv update. We don’t watch the local news as it is all about the BLMers killing each other and the evil Trump people. I do go to their web site for a quick news update. Alexia might help there.
It comes in handy when cooking if you quickly want to know, for example, how many teaspoons in half a cup. It also is a pretty comprehensive jukebox. But I still prefer to manuually turn on and off the lights.
Sounds like fun. Will follow this thread incase friends got these things.
Personally I’d program it to call me “You Missed” and take it to the range-
“Bam!”... “Alexa?”... “Yes, You Missed?”... “Bam!”... “Alexa?”...
Look in to IFTTT.com and the recipes they have on there. I can tell Alexa to add something to my shopping list, it then moves to iPhone Reminders and my Anything app will pull from there to put it in my Shopping List there.
The light switches/outlets/bulbs are somewhat pricey now, but super handy. I have a few switches that are a pain to reach and this makes it super easy to turn the lights on and off. I have a couple of outlets for turning on my Tuner and TV. I don’t need to hunt down my remotes for those.
I’ve only gotten her to play one of my podcasts, not sure why I can’t get any others to play from it.
Ask Alexa to tell you a Trump Joke,
then ask that democRAT whore to tell you an Obama joke...see what you get.

We really enjoy using Echo, but it can often get confused with your request...so be patient. We will frequently ask Alexa for the weather before venturing outside...ask her to tell us a joke or any bit of trivia (what is the capital of Oregon)...the current price of a stock. I think it’s most useful for adding things to our shopping list (e.g. “Alexa, add eggs to the shopping list”). Then you can ask Alexa to repeat the shopping list, or sign on to Alexa and print out the shopping list before going out.
Be sure to ask about the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow.
Also, get the insteon hub with wifi bulbs and you can say, Alexa turn on lights and its magic.
I will not have it in my home. There first must be a way to turn it “OFF-OFF” with no remote turn on!
