Music/Radio Alarms in UK
« on: December 13, 2017, 06:41:12 am »
I read on some UK sites that this feature was available (from earlier this week). I cant get it to work. Has anyone in the UK got this working? Id like to say "Alexa set an alarm for 7am weekdays with Radio Two"

not working for me either but I also read this was US only - had hoped this phased global approach would stop but hopefully we will get this very soon

I'm in Portugal and it doesn't work too. It accepts the instruiction and it saves the correct alarm, but keeps using the alarm default sound

I also failed to get this working despite the daily express saying it was activated in the UK as of Dec last year....I spoke to Echo tech support last night, and it's not available. I really wish they would give us this update!

Betting this feature is released before 24th Jan when the new Echo Spot is launched.

Say "Alexa set an alarm for 7am weekdays with Radio Two on TuneIn"
(you need to specify the source!)
[Edit] Oops, sorry, might have been working for me because I set my Amazon account as US #facepalm

It's beyond me why they don't release new features to everyone, rather than on an individual country basis. There's no excuse for it.
