The new APLA Documents are great for providing rich audio responses at runtime to users.

However, we are still stuck using the reprompt object in responses, and this can only contain PlainText or SSML.

For a user who has just experienced an immersive experience but then hears a low-quality reprompt (especially when the audio element is used), this could seem disjoint.

It would be great if we could use APLA documents in multimodal reprompts too :)

Cheers.

Can you add a “time and temperature” feature to Flash Briefing and News scripts?
Just a short 5 second or so item that can be added to flash briefing and news scripts that tells current local time and current local temperature Perhaps have an option that just tells the local time.. OR both time and temp. Email me, I’ll tell you more about what I have in mind.

Example notification:
There is a XXXX alert for your YYYY.
This XXXX can be of YYYY can be of replaced by anything.
Ex: There is a "low balance" alert for your "test account".

Thank you very much in advance.

This is a must have setting v a like to have. When setting appointments in calendar it sets time to wrong period if working with European clients.

Currently voice controls only make use of the spotify account linked to the main user. even if multiple amazon accounts are used on the echos with separate spotify accounts linked to them - if a different Amazon account is active, „play spotify“ results in the use of the main users spotify account.

Please activate, that the used spotify account is based on the active amazon account.

Ideal would be of course if voice recognition would automatically select the right spotify account, without the need to say „change account“ upfront.

Use-case example:

Alexa: "Here is a multiple-choice question for you. {question} Choose the correct answer A, B, C or D."

User: "A"

Alexa:"Answer A {answertext} is correct. Good job!"

It would be great if you could trigger a routine based on outdoor temperature since Alexa is already able to fetch local outdoor weather information.

Currently, if you want to set a routine on Alexa, it can only be Everyday, Weekdays, Weekends, or one particular day. If I want to set a routine for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I would have to set up 3 different routines. Could you please add the option to choose alternate days, or even any choice of days(Mon, Tue, Thurs, Fri) instead of only being able to choose one day and return to the beginning to add more routines? Thank you in advance.

Add functionality to connect echo to bluetooth devices. Voice command "Connect" needs to be available for routine execution. Please consider Germany with translated command "Verbinde"

Currently the Echo is not automatically reconnecting on every Bluetooth device. The voice command is solving this but does not provide the user experience I expect. If I turn off external speaker for energy saving reasons at night, I cannot automatically play on the external device next morning as this is not connected.

The current limit is 4 minutes. Our app plays backing tracks for guitarists and this is way too short. Please increase to at least 20 mins.

Rest API that can send an alexa announcement based on the event like lights turn on or webcam detection. This can be called from lambda. Definitely a key feature that alexa is alerting everyone or n the room that other room or area has a movement. Great feature and will add value.

let me know if this is already exist in some way or simpler way

would love to see the Screensaver/ echo show congregation displayed on my large TV so I can easily see my reminders calendar event.

I have somo lock systems that need to pass a PIN to backend, can this feature be added to LockController interface?

Allow you to set a local device on your network (eg a NAS or a DLNA server) as a default music streaming device for Alexa. So when you ask it to "Alexa, play Green Day" it will play it from your local music library. This will be well-received by the great many Alexa users who have large CD libraries and would prefer to use those instead of a subscription service like Apple Music.

Use the echo show eight camera as a motion detection device which would integrate into the Ring Alarm system.

It would be very useful, if my boyfriend and I (our amazon accounts are linked as one household) could manage our smart home devices (lamps, room groups, heating system) both in our apps. Now whe have to decide in which account we set up a device. For example: My boyfriend has set up a smart lamp in his account. I can't control this lamp in my app. And I can also only control this lamp with voice control, when the speaker is in his account.

APL-A touts higher sample rates and uncompressed audio, but that only pertains to the input format. Any high quality audio file gets mixed down to an output format of mono 48 kbps, meaning that it is actually ultimately worse than the potentially stereo format possibly with the audio tag.

Please consider adding stereo support for Mixer & Sequencer events, if not actually increasing the end output quality.
