While the app is still slow... this update added some nice new features. I organized my home so the Echo Hub would be ready to use: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrR_pqupx5uxenk.html

Having recently retired from 35 years in the technology business (yes, I predate the World Wide Web!), I’ve usually got tech things figured out pretty well by the time I see a KZfaq video on it. But I learned a lot from this video. Very well done.

I'm glad it was helpful! It's always fun (maybe) when they update an app to make it look completely different than what we have been using for years.

What the hell upgrade is this??? I went to the Apple Store and could find no such thing and googling for "Alexa app upgrade" yields no item posted more recently than 2022.

Great video Bret, thanks for the support. It is such a shame we cannot access home and away modes in the UK.

It seems a bit peculiar, but I can't seem to locate the 'Mode' option in the Devices section. I'm a bit stumped on how to enable it. Any insights or guidance on how to get it up and running would be greatly appreciated!

I'm a bit confused @ the whole AMZN Alexa setup concept. I've a winter and a summer home, so not unusual. Between Ring doorbells, Ring camera's, Ecobee' with Alexa, our cars with Alexa, our Firestick TV's, our Echos plus Dots, our phones with Alexa, and our Eero routers I'm counting 50+devices. Not a big number for a Smart Home. I moved to a new Eero router at one house. Now all my RIng and Alexa devices at that house need their network credentials re-setup. So, no problem EXCEPT it's impossible to see which Dot or Echo belongs to which house. I use my AMZN account for both homes. Best as I can see Alexa Groups does not cut it for device management. Why should I have to use a dummy AMZN account just to sort my Alexa devices? Am I missing something? Is there a better way to manage Alexa devices than that AMZN app? Thanks

Good video going over how to set smart devices, but what I was hoping for was how to change the wake word. I have the original echo in my bedroom and echo dot in the living room. From the old app I was able to have the wake word, "Echo" for my dot. The problem I have now is on both computers which are in the same room is my other devices. So every time I say Alexa, my computer and Echo wake up at the same time. If my phone is in the room, all 3 wake up; should I have Fire TV on, that makes 4. The old version there was no problem in changing it. This new version, I am unable to do so. I've gone to the help site and it gives the explanation on how to change, but when I go to the phone app and search for either computer, there is no option to change the wake word.

How do I delete a Group i no longer need? I have the latest version of the Alexa App and can't find my Groups??

@TechWithBrett 26 күн бұрын

Under the devices tab do you see the row of groups at the top? If you do need see the group you are looking for scroll to the end and vmselect See All. Then find the group you want to delete. Tap on the group and at the top select Edit. At the top right select the trash can.

I have the Trashcan Symbol on every Smart Home Appliance except for the Echos... I want to delete old, already offline echos, but there is no trashcan... There is an Logout Button on the device, but this does not work either... What can I do?

@TechWithBrett 2 күн бұрын

For the Echos, just go to the device and go to the Gear icon. Scrolling to the bottom, you can deregister the device. This will remove it from your account.

Have you tried showing it on an Echo Show device? Most 3rd party cameras are not supported in the Alexa app. Also it only works in US and UK. www.ezviz.com/us/page/amazon-alexa

How to find scenes and how to edit ?

@TechWithBrett 4 ай бұрын

I don't think Alexa has scenes other than those that are imported from apps like Philips Hue. Those you would edit in the Hue app and then you can activate with Alexa. I guess you can also make scenes by using routines.

Alexa app is really a total mess. Its uggly, slow, unpractical, etc.... Instead of producing new hardware like the Echo Hub, why dont they fix their app first ? Its a mystery. I guess they prefer to spend time making already paying prime members get advertising if they dont pay more, then to fix what is broken. Its a shame.
