It turns your Echo into a device to protect your home from unwanted visitors when you are out. It will give the illusion that your house is occupied using realistic audio to deter potential intruders. The intention is a would-be thief will be convinced someone is performing daily activities such as talking, laughing, cleaning, working, and preparing...

I also have a Smart Bulb that I've set up and control it through Alexa (works great)

Is there anyway that I can get Alexa to turn on my light when I ask Alexa to stop my alarm?

I have recently got the Amazon Echo and the Amazon Music Unlimited family package however I cannot link them both up.

When I go to the Amazon Music part of the app it offers me the choice to get a 30 day trial. If I go to My Music Library on the Alexa app it says "Error getting Amazon Music artists/playlist".

This doesn't make any sense. Do I need to buy Amazon Music Unlimited for Echo alone?

Anyone know more information on this?]]> Multiple Amazon accounts, one Echo...

My mother has an echo and her own Amazon Account and she is moving in with us. We have Echo devices around our house and our account associated with these. We want all Echo devices to work with all of us and I see something about adding a family member and switching between the accounts. Is this what we need to do? Will mom still have her own shopping list and we have ours? Will we be able to share audio and Kindle books? Will placing a code on purchasing keep this separated? Is...

So only recently got the echo and have brought the Phillips Hue Products to make the house a little smarter.

I have enabled the HUE application with the Echo

Problem I am having is the echo keeps rediscovering devices are have previously asked it to forget. What then happens is I will ask the Echo to turn the TV room light off and it will tell me it can see multiple enteries with this name and I need to delete them. I go into the app delete them but within a few hours they have...
