The strangest thing with Alexa is how it seems to have gotten worse and worse over time. That is, my Alexa right now has issues doing the most basic thing, it can't even play music right anymore.
I remember when my friend in LA first showed me Alexa, playing music was all we used it for and it worked great for that. Somehow it's degraded over time and now it barely every picks the song or band I asked for. There was a time when I used Alexa for managing every light in my house, now I just gave up on everything except music, and I'm almost done with that part now too.
- fhub 2y agoI've set a countdown timer and then asked it "how much time is left on the timer?" and it says "You have no timers set" then inside say 30s, the timer goes off. Has happened to me a half dozen times in the last 2 months (at different amounts of time left obviously). This was my primary use case of alexa and now I just use Siri on my phone when my phone is nearby. Siri isn't ideal as I find it hard sometimes to quickly see how much time is left on the timer. But at least it doesn't forget one is running.
- traes 2y agoI'm pretty sure this occurs when the timer goes off during your query, and the alarm gets queued after the response. In my experience the alarm usually goes off immediately after, though, I've never experienced a 30s delay.
