This feature would be similar to playing music with an Alarm but it would open a skill.

Set an alarm on Echo in one room, say the kitchen to go off in another room like the bedroom.

Reminders, timers and alarms should allow for individual melodies and volume levels.
A timer should be louder to be heard in noisy environments. A wake up alarm should be set much lower as sleep environments are quiet.
This especially applies to wake up alarms coupled with radio stations or other music.

Due to having multiple Dots/Spots...I would like to have the choice to set my Reminders, Timers, and Alarms "EVERYWHERE" like we can do with music. For example, if I have a timer set with the Kitchen dot and I am in another part of the house, I would hear the timer go off on all other dots. That way I never miss an alarm, reminder or timer. I love my Alexa products. Thank you for all of the skills you provide.

A reminder is of little help if it plays in the kitchen when I'm in the bedroom. My 84 year old Dad needs reminders for many things but found that buying multiple devices does not allow those reminders to playback from all devices. Need a way to set reminders, alarms and even timers to play from all devices or ideally a matrix can be setup to choose which reminders play from which devices.

User should be able to dismiss an upcoming recurring alarm without removing the whole series.

E.g. I have an alarm set at 9:00 am everyday. I wake up at 8:40 am in a particular day. The only way to prevent it from ringing at 9 am is to completely disable the series through the application, and then enable it again after 9 am, or remove the series completely by voice and then set up the series again after 9 am.

This is a very basic feature that every single user misses.

Thanks,

Fernando

It would be useful to allow smart home partners like Smartthings to turn off an alarm set on an Echo. For instance; if a motion sensor detects motion then turn off alarm so no voice control is necessary.

Please can we voice out our frustrations to allow users to deactivate the ‘try this’ ideas on the echo show home screen. Loads of forums have suggested this but seems Amazon are not listening.

Alexa, set alarm for 7:00 am tomorrow.
- Ok, which method would you like me to wake you with?
(user chooses alarm, radio, light, or other method) ie light
- Ok, I will wake you at 7:00 am tomorrow by turning on the light.

With a human assistant, I could say "Remind me at 2pm to pick up Gerald," and later ask "What time am I supposed to pick up Gerald?" or "When did I ask to be reminded to pick up Gerald?"

These would be good natural speech patterns to support,.

Many teachers are teaching from home. I wish we could tell Alexa our bell schedule and she would ring the bell at the beginning and end of periods. It is badly needed in the pandemic. School children would use it to keep on schedule as well.

When it first launched, the timers api had support for timers up to 24 hours. For some reason Amazon decided to reduce it to 2 hours. I would like it to be extended to 24 hours again so that I can create recipes that take longer than 2 hours to make.

Give Developers the possibility to send custom alerts to single devices with just a text and an own alarm mp3/audio file.

Eg. "Movement in Basement detected" or "Smoke Alarm in Garage triggered"

I've been waiting for this since it was announced years back, for
our Fire Fighter Departments to extent the notfication people at home, etc about Emergecy Calls.

Extend reminders options

Please consider adding new functionality to reminders like yearly recurrence to create birthdays reminders for example. Now you can only created reminders repetition on a weekly basis, but no for longer periods (monthly, quaterly, yearly,...).

I think we should be able to set weekly reminders on multiple days of the week, like this:

"recurrence":{

  "freq": "WEEKLY",

  "byDay": ["MO", "FR"]

}

I would want an api and event to access wake up alarm.
Like list does.
We would synchronize wake up alarm with third parties app and create intelligent wake up alarm for exemple with sleep track skill.
Wake up alarm event would be : Add, modify, remove
Wake up alarm api would : Create, modify or remove

When an alarm goes off, it should also announce the time so that you can quickly understand what time it is, and not have to check the clock etc.

I think we should be able to access alarms in skills, if we want to play custom .mp3 or something like that.
