Is Setting Up an Alarm Command on Alexa Difficult?

Alexa alarm commands are straightforward and quick to set up.

How to Set Up Alexa Alarm Commands?

Alexa can function as an alarm clock that can wake you up every morning or remind you regularly of a specific event.

Alexa is a superior version of an alarm clock with a voice-command feature.

The feature can make you feel like your mum is asking you to wake up.

When the alarm goes off, Alexa will chime the voice you have opted for.

You can choose Alexa’s original voice or your favorite music as an alarm sound.

With the help of the following methods, you can easily set up an alarm on your Alexa device.

Set Up Alarm with Voice Command

The primary method to set the alarm on Alexa is by simply commanding the device.

To set up Alexa alarm commands vocally, follow the below stages.

• Command Alexa that you want to set up an alarm.
• Alexa will reply with, “Which type of Alarm?”
• Specify the time and date for your alarm.
• Also, tell how many days of the week you want the alarm to repeat.
• Once you have told every necessary detail, your alarm will be set up.

Set Up an Alarm With Alexa App

You can also activate Alexa alarm commands using the Alexa app installed on your mobile.

This method proves helpful if Alexa does not recognize your voice or your sound is not registered on the app.

• Open the Alexa app.
• Go to the “Alarms” option.
• Press the “Add New Alarms” button.
• Select ‘time’ and ‘date’ for your alarm.
• If you want a recurring alarm, choose the desired days of the week.
• After adding the required information, click on the “Done” button.

Once the alarm goes off, it won’t stop until you say, “Stop the Alarm, Alexa.” But you can also snooze the alarm by specifying the period after which you want the alarm to beep again.

For instance, you can say, “Alexa, snooze the alarm for fifteen minutes.”

How to Set Up Reminders on Alexa?

Besides alarms, you can also set up reminders on your Alexa smart device. Reminders are one-time alarms for special events, such as a meeting, a holiday, or a birthday.

Whenever the reminder comes off, Alexa says, “Here’s your reminder.”

If you don’t respond to the reminder, Alexa will repeat it twice before it switches off.

However, if you answer it, implying that you have listened to the reminder, Alexa won’t repeat it.

But setting up a reminder is a more comprehensive process.

If you also want to set up a reminder on Alexa, observe the following steps.

Setting Up Reminders with Voice

• To set up a reminder, say “Alexa.”
• Alexa will respond to you with “Yes.”
• Now set up the reminder by saying, “I want to set the alarm/reminder.”
• Alexa will ask what type of reminder you want to set.
• Reply to it with the event for which you are setting the reminder. For instance, you can say, “Dentist Alarm,” or “Laundry Reminder.”

OR

• You can simply set the reminder in one phrase: “Alexa, set the reminder at 3:00 pm for laundry.”

Setting Up Reminder Manually

You can also set up the reminder manually with the help of the Alexa app.

This method proves convenient when your voice is not registered on Alexa.

You can observe the following steps to set up reminders on Alexa using its digital application.

• Open Alexa app
