The Best Alexa Commands You Didn't Know About

Commands for Productivity

Did you know you can use Alexa to keep track of your family's schedule? Try saying, 'Alexa, add dentist appointment to my calendar' or 'Alexa, what's on my calendar today?' You can also use 'Alexa, announce it is time for dinner' to broadcast a message to every Echo device in your house.

Advanced Home Control

Stop managing devices individually. Create 'Groups' in the Alexa app (e.g., 'Living Room') and use commands like 'Alexa, turn off living room' to control all lights and outlets in that area simultaneously. Additionally, 'Alexa, set volume to level 5' is a quick way to maintain consistent audio levels without fumbling with remote controls.
