When a timer or alarm goes off, I instinctively say “Alexa, thank you”. Alexa says “you’re welcome” then carries on with the alarm sound. Maybe it’s a British thing, but when I say thank you to something I feel it should stop there. “Alexa, stop” seems very impolite.

Allow users to collaborate on the translation of Skills. As happens on many opensource platforms, I can collaborate with the translation of other users' skills. This would allow the expansion and dissemination of Skills that are currently not available in many languages. Thank you

I’d like to be able to move an audio file into the lists of alarm sounds available. So I could wake up to a customized file.

I would like Alexa to be able to perform factory reset on voice command. Manual interface is obvious but cannot be done every time customer support asks us to perform this. Also we would want some basic settings or info to be back after reset as we do not want to spend time in settings all other things again from scratch

I would like Alexa to update the software of a device or appliance with voice command. Pressing button for some period of time or doing other HW actions manually can be avoided

The Smart Home Skill tutorial is thorough. However, it includes large amounts of Python code for the individual to copy and paste into their program. For someone looking to write a program in Java or any other language this isn't very helpful.

Figure a way for the shopping list to be set "outside" the Alexa app, to stand alone versus having to go through multiple screens on the phone while you're in the store "just" to get to your shopping list!

Your routines will not allow for any of my light switches or plugs to be used as a trigger, hence switch goes on anounce something as action. This restriction makes no sence and cannot seem to be able to find any smart switches or plugs that will show in the routines device triggers screen.

Allow users to enable “DJ Mode” that while streaming music adds cross fades to songs and occasionally has Alexa announce songs with factoids about the music or artist. I miss traditional radio but like listening to more than the same 40 songs. What I miss are the DJs.

I currently have a turntable hooked up to my sound system via Bluetooth to one of my Echo devices. I would like to be able to play the audio from my turntable on a speaker group, currently it plays just on the one Echo. This feature would also allow a user to play audio from a connected phone, tv, tablet, or computer on multiple Echos at once.

A user should be able to link their account mid-session and not be forced to exit the skill to get the benefits of a linked account.

I would like to be able to show a card when the user is confirming an intent. It would be more explicit and, well, confirmatory, to be able to put text on the screen as in addition to the voice prompt, even it it was simply showing the text that matches the prompt that'd be something, but ideally a customizable card...

I have implemented a custom skill for Smoke&CO detector and now I am trying to add/implement notifications for Alexa Echo device when ever detector raises an alarm. I don't find any feasibility to do this either Proactive events/ notifications api. If this is not possible I recommend this feature to be added

I’d like to be able to add an Owner field to Alexa input calendar events so I can identify which family member is the owner of an appointment. That way, anybody can enter their events in the family calendar from Alexa and we identify to whom the event is for.

Currently, only published skills can be invoked from routines. This creates difficulties in skills testing because it is impossible to test how a skill will behave being invoked from a routine. It would be easier if a routine will be able to invoke a skill in published and developing mode as well.

I want the reminder API to be able to launch skills via Skill Connections, like the timer API.

For example
1. The reminder rang.
2. Alexa Skill has launched.
3. Alexa said. Did you do it?
4. User said. Did not do.
5. Alexa said. Then when do you do it?
6. User said. 3 days later. / 5 days later. / others. (Irregular)
7. Alexa Skill has set a new reminder.

I want to create such skills.

Move audio to another device, i.e. I’m done in the kitchen and want to continue listening in the dining room. “Alexa,follow me to the dining room.”
