Amazon Echo Discussion / "Remember This"?
« Last post by goco on March 21, 2023, 02:19:24 pm »I’m setting up an Echo Show for a friend with dementia. Part of my plan for this user was to add several daily reminders for things like taking the dog out, making sure the doors are locked, etc. I’ve found Alexa Reminders, and my other setup items, like contacts and calendar, are all working well. But I also was hoping to add a few “Remember This” items like “My daughter Sue’s birthday is March 21st” or “my brothers names are Bob, Tim, and Dave”. I am using both an Echo Show 2nd gen and an Echo Dot 5th gen and after hours of struggling and a multitude of Google searches, cannot get “Remember This” to work on either. Strangely, there are many “how to” Google result on Alexa’s “Remember This” feature, but if you filter them by date, virtually all the results are at least a couple of years old, none are at all recent, and I simply cannot get Alexa to answer a simple question like “Alexa, when is my daughter Sue’s birthday?”--Alexa only replies with a rambling answer about some obscure celebrity. I must be missing something. What am I doing wrong?

Amazon Echo Discussion / Re: can no longer use web browser to access echo devices

have you noticed you can no longer use a web browser to access your echo devices settings? Guess it is now app only no matter the os. Wonder when the change was made.

Amazon Echo Discussion / What’s Playing?
« Last post by Batesy101 on March 15, 2023, 02:11:37 pm »Hi - I have the Echo Show 8 and use it to stream Apple Music through my Sonos One speaker. Is there a way to show what’s playing on the Echo’s screen?
I don’t find the ‘Play’ tab in the Alexa app very reliable!

Or you can say Alexa move my music to [name of the dot downstairs].
If you don't know the name of your devices, physically get in front of the Echo device and say, Alexa what is the device name. Alexa will reply with the device name that you are speaking to.

The issue I have is if I start the music on the dot upstairs then I can't stop the music on the dot downstairs, I have to go back upstairs again to stop the music.
Is there a way that I can stop the music where ever I am.
Thank yiu
