Title: Help with alexa location
Post by: Ashubbuck on January 26, 2017, 09:25:17 pm

I live in buffalo ny and when I ask Alexa what the weather is. It gives me the weather for Rochester NY. Does it not know the location it is in? How do I fix it? Any help. Thank you

Double check your Alexa settings for your device location.  Make sure it shows your street address along w/the zip code.

If you don't already have it, check out Weather Sky skill.  Excellent results.

I believe she meant zip code and not area code up above.  If the info is not correct in the app, it looks at the IP of your ISP internet feed for zip code guidance.

OOPS.  Thanks for the heads up.  I corrected/edited my response.
