Can we have location triggers and similar services made available in the UK.

A recent update is the ability to silence a recurring alarm, but the interaction is tedious. I should be able to say “cancel next 10PM alarm”. Simple! Instead I have to say “cancel 10PM alarm”, wait for her to say “do you want to cancel this alarm forever?” and reply “no!” The keyword “next” should sufficiently describe my intention. Please add this functionality.

Capability to Set timer and Get timer on Non cooking appliances should be added.

Like to set timer on Laundry appliances or dish appliances and get time remaining on those appliances.

For devices with a screen such as the show and the fire tablet(with show mode). Should be able to activate blue shade or adjust the brightness amount(similar to being able to adjust volume levels) for areas where you might have a screened device in a darkened room and don’t want it at max brightness. I use a fire tablet as my bedside alexa device and have to manually adjust the screen brightness at bedtime so it’s not blinding in the dark.

A routine that invokes showing a Web page on a visual device screen would be useful for lots of different applications.
Smart home integration for ip cameras is my intended use of this feature.
As most ip cameras are difficult or impossible to show on echo show type devices. This new feature would enable the screen to show the Web site containing the camera stream from a trigger via node red or other mqtt and smart home devices. Without any voice commands needed to be issued to the device directly.

When the track info is shown and the title name is very long, alexa cuts this at the end with "..."

Better would be, when this text which is too long will be scrolled left and then again back right and vice versa. So it can be read completely.

In my opinion this is common behaviour.

On you Firestick remote, Say, "Alexa" then tell the Firestick Alexa, "Screen note", an on screen dialog box appears on the TV. then whatever you say into the Firestick remote appears in the dialog box. This would be an easy way to communicate with a deaf or hard of hearing person. With some time settable limits, 10 seconds, 45 minutes, or until dissmissed. It would also be a way to leave notes for others. I don't know if there is a way to make it display on OTA TV programing but that seems important.

Hello,
Please activate the In-skill purchase feature for Indian Alexa Developers as well. I believe that will be a great help for many entrepreneurs or freelance voice bot developers from India.

I have multiple Alexa's one is attached to hi fi simply called Alexa. The other is on my work bench called Computer. Would be nice to still be able to say 'Alexa' play xyz while at my workbench and have the device named Computer relay the command to the one attached to the hi fi without needing any other workaround commands like 'everywhere'

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.

While in a minimalist approach to the Alexa app it may be fine, there is a big confusion that I have noticed across numerous friends and family members involving the idea that groups are basically how a user can group devices with an echo as a "room" idea. I think that either better guidance within the app should be included or a slightly modified system of organizing devices should be implemented. It seems that normal users do not realize that an alexa enabled device goes into a group with other devices to control them separately.

Couple of things that could make it easier from a user perspective if you don't mind the feedback

You can only see 10 utterances per page, would be great to be able to see 50 / 100 per page

Would be good to filter on the columns, e.g. filter, all the expected intents with "xyz"

Would be good to duplicate an notation set to then use again with edits

Would be good to be able to download an annotation set as a CSV, so you can edit and then upload again

A generic Notification proactive schema can look like below

Event Name - AMAZON.CustomAlert.Available

message example - vehicle <content.name> <customalert.message> at <customalert.time>
example

event: {

name: AMAZON.CustomAlert.Available,

payload: {

  customAlert: {

    time: 2028-11-20T21:00:00Z,

    message: String

  }

  content: {name: vehicle name}}

we are working on connected car skill. we want to send custom notifications to user for example when there is harsh driving, geofence breach etc. the format of the notification might be

<any string > at <datetime>

where any string - mandatory (size of string should not be greater then suitable for alexa)

for example
<car1 entered geofence> at <21-8-2020 12:00 PM>
<harsh driving detected by car1> at <21-8-2020 12:00 PM>

Our service has multiple frontends. For this example, let's assume we have an Alexa Skill and Web interface.

CASE 1: User subscribes via Web and uses the Web. OK
CASE 2: User subscribes via skill and uses the skill. OK
CASE 3: User subscribes via the Web and users the skill. OK (The skill can check the payment API of the web application for sub status.)

FAIL CASE: User subscribes via Alexa skill and uses the web app. There is no way for the web application to verify the Alexa skill subscription status.

Please add this.
