serial number & Password
As an option to existing contacts lists etc, Alexa (especially Echo Show) be set up for an "access password"
This is separate to user password. Any user with both serial number and access password can vieo call to device (i.e. echo show). This would mean that families can exchange Serial Numbers and Access Passwords and instantly videocall the devices which have exchanged serial numbers and passwords. User can change Password at any time tto kill all existing permissions witth Access Password.2 votes -
Routine Trigger > Alarm > When Alarm is set & Reference the alarm's time
This would be amazing and work so well with many people's routines from all I hear from the community, youtube, family and friends.
Lately "when alarm is dismissed" was added as a routine's trigger. Please consider adding "when alarm is set" and combine it with referencing the alarm time.
E.g. Trigger: "When alarm is set" > Action: "Turn on light" 30 minutes before alarm rings.
This can not be achieved with "schedule" since alarms can be set at different times.
Its pretty much 2 feature requests, I know, but it would increase any alarm based routine by aaa lot :)

Allow household memberes to use all the smart home devices
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.

Stereo Support for APL for Audio
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.

Music Fade in
I would love if you could let the music fade in (while using Spotify). Because if I have a routine in the morning the sudden start of the music lets me shock for a second. That feature would be AWESOME!!!

Insert a skill at the begin of a routine
I can only use a skill at the end of a routine? Why? I want to start with a skill inside my routine, but I get everytime a message, that this skill must be at the end of a routine.

volume
A lower lowest volume on Echo Dot is needed. Currently the lowest volume setting achieved through the App controls is too loud. As dots are in bedrooms mainly, it needs to be lower to allow you to fall asleep.

Local Control Zigbee Thermostat
Fully support Zigbee thermostat through local control (Hub).
There are two aspects to supporting a zigbee device:
1) There is the ability for the zigbee service to discover and join the device to zigbee network.
2) Then there is the ability for SmartHome to send commands to the device.We can see that #1 works.
At the moment, the SmartHome ability does not yet support the thermostat cluster which allows it to set temperature setpoints (#2). It does support the report attributes which allows it to read the set point.
It would be beneficial if thermostats (heating, cooling, HVAC and…

Request for improvement of "LAUNCH_TASK" of Timer API. launch it like "Quick Link for Your Custom Task" instead of "Direct skill connections
I would like to launch my skill (or other skill) again after the timer rings.
Same for Reminder API.
It is not a "Direct skill connections".
It is a function that simply launch the specified skill.
"Quick Link for Your Custom Task" can launch a skill without the provider skill of "Direct skill connections".
(Or maybe you're using common provider skills.)
I think having such a simple feature would improve the quality of the skill.Thank you.

Allow controlling local servers through ssh
My idea is to issue a command to Alexa that'll make it ssh into a server connected to the same LAN and issue commands (e.g., "sudo reboot", "sudo shutdown now") or run scripts.

Enable Echo to control multiple groups
Allow Alexa Echo devices to connect to multiple groups.
My Situation:
I am using a singular echo device named “Kitchen Echo” to control devices in both my kitchen and living room. One of the devices (located in living room) is a 2-light lamp fixture. In order to have both smart bulbs turn on in this lamp, I had to create a separate device group, using a separate Echo device.This allows me to say... “Alexa, turn on Lamp 2” instead of telling Alexa to turn on both bulbs separately. I’d rather not use an Echo device located across my house…
