Alexa Is Acting Oddly - Page 2

Alexa, has come on a few times, without asking her. And sometimes when playing music she jusy stops, kind of weird and irritating at the same time.

Very rarely....Alexa is usually on the money.

I have the original Amazon Echo. Anyway in the last week or so Alexa has been acting oddly. Today she came on twice, I didn't ask her anything and she couldn't have heard something on TV that she could have thought was her name. One day she started playing music all on her own. I'm beginning to think she is possessed! When your alone in the house she can scare you. Has anyone else had this experience?

Strange you should post this, as my Echo Dot has spoken to me twice in the last 7-10 days out of the blue and I also didn’t think anything was said on the TV that would have set it off. Both times it was something on the order of “I didn’t get that” or “I don’t understand” and that was it, she was quiet after that.

When I get an unsolicited I don't understand or similar I suspect a brief drop in my wifi or internet connection.

@Moonchilde, that is pretty much what happened to me! Someone once told me there was a comedian that I guess hacked in to the Echo and got Alexa to do what he wanted on many people's devices. I could totally see this happening.

I always wonder if one is supposed to say “please” and “thank you” to her!

Mine was on in the middle of the night. I could see the light from it flashing on the walls. I don't know why it keeps doing that. I had to move it to the nightstand on DH's side of the bed so when the light comes on it does not wake me up. When it was on my nightstand it would light up right in my face. When light wakes me up that's normally the end of my sleep since the light is telling my brain it's time to get up. LOL!!!

Every once in a while I have heard her say I did not get that or I'm not sure.

1 morning wheh I woke up I told her to turn the AC on a certain temp but she was having problems connecting with wifi so she could not do it. That was annoying since it's the whole reason I bought it.

Show her who’s boss - unplug her, wait a minute and plug her back in.

I say please, thank you and a few other choice words depending upon the response I get ;o)

I have two echo dots in two different rooms... one in black and one in white, when I was cleaning the house I noticed and heard both Alexa's having a conversation with each other.. Hello then the other said hello.. it went on for a few minutes and then it stopped. That was weird and creepy. I had the all music channel on so no name was mentioned.
