Title: Activates without wake word being used
Post by: sirzune on January 19, 2017, 10:25:00 am

Been having this problem for over a couple of months now.  The Echo gets activated as if the wake word has been used. It can be quiet, not a sound, and the Echo will come to life. Sometimes it states nothing; other times, will give an answer like, "I didn't quite understand what you want".

Are any of you guys experiencing this?

Yes all the time. At least twice a day.

As I said in another post, this has become more frequent in the past six months, I am a long time Alexa user, and I have noticed the sensitivity ramp up  I have quite a few devices on today, and they think anything heard is a wake word as each one pops to life daily during conversations in the house.
