I’ve ditched Amazon almost entirely. I still have a clock of theirs in the kitchen because I like the traditional analog face but it has a light up face for count down times when cooking. And I have their thermostats, which I don’t ever adjust much - basically it’s just nice to know vacation mode is on, and they were stupid cheap.
Otherwise, I’ve removed all the echo dots and Amazon plugs. Alexa literally interrupted a work meeting, without being prompted or triggered by a wake word, to tell me I should check the app for upcoming deals. Switched over to HomePod minis that week.
Have the clock too. I have echos is every room except in the smallest bedroom that I use as an office when I work from home. I use them quite a lot. I also have echo inputs connected to hifi amps in kitchen and living room paired with their respective echo for spotify and further grouped for full downstairs synced audio. The default should be off for that type of notification, as it is I have to go to devices and scroll through 14 pages of devices on my phone to turn it off individually.
It is off, and it was. Amazon was trialing some new thing. They also like to randomly turn that BS back on. Alexa is just so untrustworthy. It’s constantly trying to hawk me crap I don’t need. “Alexa turn off the kitchen.” “Ok. By the way. You can order more coffee filters by saying ‘Alexa order more coffee fillers’. Would you like me to order more coffee filters?”
I meant my supplies notifications. I should be able to find by device, I’ve a stupid amount of them. Hate the by the way stuff too. That’s why I keep it out of my office.
Notification came back like a bad penny. Had to go in and do 6 individual dimmers, of course it goes back to the top of the 14 pages every time. Doesn’t show what it’s set to in the list, have to go severals level deep. Hate dark patterns. UX designer should be ashamed.
