Amazon Echo Discussion / messaging specific Alexa devices
« Last post by lark03 on December 22, 2023, 09:22:31 pm »
this is going to be a bit long winded so please excuse the length and any confusion but i have recently changed all the Alexa devices in my household so they can all be easily controlled under one account,

i have set up profiles for each family member, my question is is it possible to group together selected Alexa devices to receive calls and messages (for example i want to message/call my dad it will only send the message/call to the Alexa devices in the Livingroom and his bedroom)

i have tried making a group which includes multiple rooms / Alexa devices in hopes that i can call the group and it would call every Alexa device in said group (the Livingroom and bedroom) but it appears to only call one device?

and if i was to send a message to my dads profile the message notification would appear on all devices in the house which i do not, want i only wish for it to message his bedroom/ the living room.

i have managed to set up each individual room in the house as a group so i can call them individually just not multiple rooms at the same time

I'm wondering if this is possible with Alexa's at all??

I found on my Android, if I go to the Alexa app, click on More, then the Follow Updates tile, there's a gear icon in the upper right. When I clicked on that, it took me to the setting that shows what interests I'm following and I could turn them off to stop the announcements.

I have a routine when I say goodnight it turns off all interior lights. I added to the routine to wait 10 minutes then turn on motion sensor scene. Then I made another routine to turn off scene at sunrise but scene stays enabled all the time.

Short answer: yes

Long answer:

Routine:

When (sensor) detects motion
Every Day (or selected days of week)
2030-0700 (or your selected times)

(scene) on

Then you may wish to set up a second routine to turn things off again unless you use a "Wail" command in the first routine to turn things off again.  I find this gives me more flexability

When (sensor) does not detect motion for 5 (user selectable) minutes
Every Day (or other - see above)
2030-0700

(scene) off

I have a scene with a motion sensor that will turn on a light when triggered. I only want the scene enabled at night time and disabled during the day. can a routine accomplish this?

you can install the android alexa app on a win11 computer.

usually, if it's been working then stops, I would hold off doing anything about it for at least a day.   Most of the time it will fix itself.   I might do a power cycle on the router but no more than that.

I was just reading in the different reddit subs that others have been having the same problem and it fixed itself.   The problem must have been with amazon.

Boy, it sure would be nice to have an 'Alexa for PC' app.
