Alexa says 'Sorry, I'm having trouble understanding right now'

[doveanddrive]

'Please try a little later'

That's what she says. She keeps saying it and won't do anything for me

Why is she having trouble understanding? The connection here is fine!

What's her issue? Why is she such a bully?

Ours has suddenly stopped interacting with the Hue lights in our bedroom, even tho they have always worked in partnership. All of a sudden, its all "there are multiple devices named bedroom". I cannot be arsed to reset it all, so revert to using the Hue app. I swear a switch on the wall is much easier!

Usually when Alexa has a brain fail your Wifi is down or she just needs a reboot - unplug her, give her a few seconds and plug her back in again.

We do refer to it as "the tin of tuna (so we don't set her off by referring to her by name) has had a lobotomy" time.

Did you say please?

Perhaps it's her time of the month?

Maybe she just wants a bit of time out?

Alexa can be a real bitch at times!
We frequently shout at her..so I guess no wonder she gets the hump sometimes
