On those work calls, I've started using the code name given to Alexa on the Internet of Things podcast - "Madam A" - but that wouldn't work with an actual human named Alexa, let alone for my brother Alex, the utterance of whose name has accidentally summoned Alexa on more than one occasion.

Someone is named Alexa - or Alex or AlexisĬonsidering the nightmare I experience when I'm on a call with an Amazon rep - even if I mute the Echo Show 5 at my desk, another Alexa device elsewhere in the house invariably hears me every time I say the "A" word - I can only imagine the horror if someone actually named Alexa ever came over (or worse, lived in the same house). To get around this or any other music request Alexa routinely borks - like trying to get your Echo speaker to play anything by Chvrches (pronounced "churches") or !!! ("chk chk chk") - I create a playlist in Apple Music, then ask for the playlist by name ("Alexa, play 'the greatest hip-hop album of all time' playlist," "play 'Chvrches' playlist," "play 'exclamation point' playlist, etc.).

("808s and Heartbreak is only available with Amazon Music Unlimited," I'm always told, even though the album is very much available on my linked streaming service, Apple Music.) I listen to Kanye West's 2008 masterpiece 808s and Heartbreak - in its entirety - several times a year, but Alexa reliably bungles the request every single freaking time no matter how I ask for it. Kanye West's seminal album 808s & Heartbreak is available on Apple Music, despite Alexa's protestations to the contrary.

Here's how to tweak the Echo Dot with Clock's brightness:ġ. Open the Alexa app, tap Devices then tap Echo & Alexa and LED Display.Ģ. Either turn off Adaptive Brightness or don't.ģ. Adjust the slider (if you leave Adaptive Brightness on, the clock will still automatically change relative to the new position). Maybe you have a nearby nightlight throwing it off, or maybe you're sensitive to light when trying to sleep (i.e., you keep a roll of electrical tape handy for bedroom devices). The Echo Dot with Clock has an ambient light sensor that adjusts the clock's brightness based on how much light is in the room, but it doesn't always cinch it.

Your Echo Dot with Clock can be viewed from space If you could land an aircraft by the light of your Echo Dot with Clock, try adjusting the brightness setting in the Alexa app. Just whisper to Alexa, and your speaker will whisper back.

Create a routine to lower the volume at the same time every night: say, 10 p.m., if that's when you typically drift off to sleep.

Lower the volume as part of your bedtime routine: If you have a routine set to trigger every night when you say, "Alexa, goodnight," you can add a command to set the volume to something comfortable (I like volume level 3 for nighttime).

There are actually a few ways to handle this: But if you were rocking to some pre-bedtime bangers and forgot to lower the volume when the lights went out, "startled" is an understatement for what you'll be when you roll over and ask, "Alexa, what time is it?" No one wants Alexa shouting at them in the middle of the night. You can get Alexa to respond with a whisper if you whisper when you give the voice command.
