What do I do if Alexa talks without anyone talking to her?

Community Answer

If your Alexa begins to speak even when nobody asks it a query, then it would be a good time to restart it. By restarting it ,you can turn the settings back and prevent this from happening.

Question

How do I get Alexa to turn on a light?

Da genius

Community Answer

In order for Alexa to turn on a light you have to have an Amazon Alexa plug with the light that you wish for it to turn on. You must also create a command so that when you say the cue words it turns on the light.

Why won't my Echo Dot detect my voice unless I press the action button?

Community Answer

You may be using the wrong wake word. Check the Alexa app to see what wake word you are using. If it has been changed, adjust it to your preferred wake word.

I changed internet providers, and now Alexa won't respond. Do I need to reset her completely?
