We love the Alexa for basic stuff like lights and adding items to a shopping list.

However in the last couple of days the items aren't feeding through to the app.

When I ask Alexa device it says I have 18 items on my list, however there are only 9 in the app on the phone.

Earlier there were none on the phone app so I removed the Alexa device and re added it who flushed through some items.

Anything else having this or similar issues? Thanks

Recently my Alexa show has been showing the wrong time.

Right now it is 1:27pm. Alexa is showing 12:49pm

The other day it was 3 hours behind.

When I ask for the time, it will tell me the correct time but the display is wrong. I have to unplug it to get the correct time.

Any ideas why this is happening?

We've replaced our smart bulbs that used to run on a Hue bridge with Matter bulbs. I've added them all to my account through the Alexa app (super easy) but where they used to show in my wife's app as well they're now all gone. All other devices, Echoes etc are there but no lights.

I can't add them as new Matter devices through my wife's app as it says there needs to be an Echo added to her account to use in setup. They're all linked to mine. Family sharing is all setup properly which I thought should have pulled all the devices over.

We've signed out and in again which hasn't forced a pull of devices and we're out of ideas now. Any help would be appreciated!

Just got an email from Amazon stating that Alexa detected a new device on my network that can be connected to Alexa and that I was receiving that email because device discovery was on. Guess how quickly I turned off device discovery? That’s right, immediately. I don’t need Amazon and Alexa working against me to get me to interact more with my speakers. I just need them to turn on some lights and a fan, maybe set a timer or two and that’s about it. They used to do more in the beginning but Amazon slowly killed old Alexa for new chatty Alexa that couldn’t turn on a light if it was placed right next to it.

More and more I just want to jump ship to something else but I’ve been that route and Google is hit and miss as well but at least it’s not constantly trying to show me an ad or telling me about an ad early in the morning when I just want to turn off a light.

I’ve spent years sending messages to my grandparents on my Alexa, and it’s all been fine. But now, for whatever reason, it states that they aren’t signed up for Alexa communications and I can’t message anymore. They still recognize the name and everything but still. How do I fix this? Where can I get them to sign up for this thing I’ve never heard of before?

The last few days I've not been able to see the Alexa dot in devices list.

I've reset it, re added it using the list.

It's working for telling the time, plays radio etc

It has the accent the kids set it.

However it's not appearing in the app on my phone.

It's forgotten what group it was in for lights, but will switch them on individually.

Any ideas? Thanks

Heya,

I have a -lot- of reminders to help me in my mental struggle of a goldfish memory life.
My echo dot's are still going off, but I no longer get push notifications. I have tripled checked phone and app settings and they are all on, yet still I get no push notifications from my Amazon Alexa app.

Other apps are fine, and they do appear in my 'notifications' list in the app, but I don't wanna manually check each time I miss one.

Any idea/experience?
Thanks!

Edit: What's with the negative downvotes on all the recent posts?

I have an amazon music unlimited subscription, but my Alexa app is connected to the basic plan, and I haven't been able to find a way to remove it from the app to connect the unlimited one. What do I do?

Hi! I am coming here with a situation that might involve Alexa that I’d appreciate gathering some information on. I decided to check my voicemails today and discovered two voicemails of my parents speaking inside our home. At first I thought it could be the camera that watches our dog or our Amazon Alexa. One of the voicemails is dated before we purchased this camera for our dog, and when trying to call my own phone from the Alexa it comes up as my mom rather than the number that’s been sending me voice mails. Both calls include an area code from the same location in Dallas (For context, I don’t live in America) and I am a little bit spooked knowing that conversations in my home are somehow being recorded. Has anyone experienced anything like this? We have changed the passwords to our accounts linked to these cameras just incase but I’m wondering if there’s anything else I can do? Edit: I saw this had happened to some people but the voicemails are always linked to a no caller id as mine gives me a real number that is not in service.
