Title: Echo Show 8 Brightens up at random times for 3 seconds?
Post by: jokerone on June 13, 2020, 05:36:09 pm
Every night at various times, perhaps once every 90 minutes or so, my Echo Show brightens up for only 2 to 3 seconds then fades back to dark.

Its very annoying.

Does this happen to anybody else?

Its does not happen at certain times (i.e.  3:30,  4:45, etc).

any suggestions would be appreciated. 

thanks

could be it is brightening up because it sees motion.    I have the show 5 in every room and it happens whenever I walk into a dark room

The camera shutter is shut. Is their some other sensor I don't know about?

imine is too.   not sure how it is exactly done but that is the reason why the lights get bright for a few seconds.

It happened again today at 6:07am.  I was awake.  No noise in the room.  no motion.  Just happened. ~2.5 secs. and off.

FYI,, This forum verification system is silly, annoying, and not needed.

The varification is a spam deterrent once you have a few posts under your belt you'll no longer have to do the verification steps. Most forums implementing this have a 5 post requirement.

forums have different ways of verification.   Not sure what the verification for this forum is since I have been a member before it was in effect or I just don't remember but other forums have captchas, math problems, moderation or just don't allow links for the first so many posts.
