    I've been developing Alexa skill for over two years now. I have submitted any of them to the certified, however my alexa setup can do some pretty spectacular things. Specifically when it comes to home security. I leverage Microsoft Azures Face Api to allow Alexa to describe people at my front door. Works Fantastically. However, I'm constantly coding around the 10 second timeout feature. This drives me nuts. Please allow some kind of parameter to set the timeout to either 10 seconds, or 12 seconds. This would allow my response to gather all the information needed, instead of having Alexa come back and say something like "I'm sorry, I may have missed something, can I check again?" (like a stupid bot, instead of the highly intelligent AI I know it can be).

    Thanks! I love Alexa, and I look forward to her eating Cortona here in Canada, so I can finally control my Xbox One natively instead of my custom skill.

    Great Thanks!
