temperature alarm
The ability for Alexa to use outside temperature as an alarm trigger. "Alexa notify me if the outside temperature is under 72 degrees." A better implementation for Alexa's with a skill like Weather Bug would be "Alexa notify me if the outdoor temperature is [over/under] the indoor temperature." and the perfect implementation would be a standing command to notify me whenever the indoor & outdoor temps transition past each other.

Allow financial personal information in Europe
As possible in the US from years (see Capital One skill), but also in the UK (Starling Bank), in India (United Bank of India) and in the UAE (Emirates NBD), we'd like Alexa skills to be allowed to access or provide access to personal financial information also in Europe.

Developer Page/Profile in Alexa Skill Store
It would be great to have a "Developer page" in the skill store, like a profile that lists all skills that this developer has published.
I.e. make the name of the developer clickable in the skill store and show all skills that this person/company has published.

Play reminders and alarms on all devices or grouped devices/control which reminders and alarms play on which devices
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.

Alexa, did the power go out today?
She can't tell me how long she has been on, when she last rebooted, I want to know if the power tripped, and ideally how long it was out.

Flash Briefing: add video support
I have some Flash Briefings for local news. The news providers are creating video, and then ripping the audio out for the Flash Briefing version. It would be great to be able to use the video in the Echo Show.
Bonus points for using the video asset for the audio / non-video Echo devices.

Slot type "number" with leading zero
Need a "number" that supports leading zero's. So when a user enters "012" it reads back "zero one two". The current number type reads back "twelve".

30 second audio / video preview of skill
To help users decide whether a skill should be used it would be great to have a 30 second audio clip with a promo / preview of a skill.
Similar to how the app store has videos or images of apps the user can listen before committing to enabling or invoking the skill.
These clips would surface in three places:
- On the skills directory page in the Alexa App
- On the skills directory page in the amazon website
- As an option to listen to when Alexa recommends a skill
The audio clip would be uploaded / submitted during the submission…

Temperature Routine Trigger
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.

Rest API that can send an alexa announcement
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

Pick specific days for routines
I'd like to be able to pick specific days to run routines, not only ONE day of the week, weekdays or weekends.
Currently if I want to run a routine on -say- Tuesday and Thursday I have to create the routine twice and select Tuesday and Thursday routine days separately.13 votes -
Guard to detect Dog barking
I love the fact that the Guard feature will alert me to breaking glass or a smoke detector going off. But it would be even better if it could also let me know if my dog starts barking so that I know to check in to see what is going on.

Be able to disable and enable routines from a routine
Be able to enable and disable routines from a voice trigger routine. For example “we’re going on holiday’ could disable routines that are not required when we are away and enable other routines that are, such as routines that make it look like we are home. Or ‘it’s summer’ could enable routines for summer that for example don’t switch on heating and switch off the winter routines that do.

Support SVG Images in APL Templates
The APL Image component currently only supports JPEG and PNG images. I propose adding support for vector graphics (SVG) which allow displaying of images using (in some cases) less bandwidth and better scaling for different display sizes.
Currently, SVGs so not render on the device at all, but are shown as expected in the simulator.

Setting up routines and reminders through an API
Allow development of custom app with feature compatibility with Alexa Companion App. This can be done through exposing functionality like setting up reminders, routines, address book, calling and messaging through either avs-SDK or expose server APIs.
This will be particularly useful in Alexa for Business settings.

Give the time in Routines
Presently we are able to get the News, Weather, or Traffic in a Routine. But right now we can’t get a simple time-stamp in a Routine. It would be nice if I could verbally trigger a Bedtime Routine that adjusted lights, temperature, and said “It’s 11:23pm. Good night!” It would seem rather simple to add this capability; wouldn’t seem any more difficult than News, Weather, or Traffic.

Allow skills to bind to a custom wake word.
Allow users or to configure wake words to use a specific skill as the context.
Probably best to use the skills installed as the wake word and have a finite list of currently active wake words.
