I can't talk about Elixir in front of Alexa. It is always chiming in "I'm sorry, I didn't get that."

  I haven't had Alexa for long, but I haven't had it trigger off of Alexa-sounding words yet. I did do the training in the app a couple of times when I first got it, though. Have you tried doing the training yet?

    It belongs to a friend, so I haven't trained it. But I will probably buy one soon, and then figure out how to use it well. I could always use a unique phrase... "27ffe8a1-4cd0-4739-bc46-9ad51a9c14ba, turn on the living room lights."

      No... you can't... there are only a couple pre-programmed wake-words "Alexa", "Echo" and something or another.

        Good to know. Thanks!

        The third wake word is "Amazon".

  You could have it configured to respond to "Amazon"' IIRC. Probably a decent mitigation for users actually named Alexa or Alex (e.g. "Alex, hon, when are we going to dinner?")
