Hi everyone, I hope this finds you well! I wanted to share a quick tip that might help those of you experiencing the Echo Dot chime issue at odd hours. I recently had this problem where my Echo Dot would chime every morning at 6am, even though I had all notifications turned off. It was quite puzzling and a bit annoying, to be honest.
After some research and trial and error, I discovered that the issue was related to a scheduled routine that I had set up months ago but had forgotten about. It turns out that even if you disable notifications, some routines might still trigger sounds or actions. To resolve this, I recommend checking your Alexa app for any hidden routines or alarms.
Here are a few steps that might help you troubleshoot similar issues:
- Review Scheduled Routines: Open the Alexa app and navigate to the ‘Routines’ section. Look for any routines set to activate at specific times, even if they seem inactive.
- Check Alarm Settings: Go to the ‘Alarms’ section in the Alexa app. Sometimes, alarms can be accidentally set or reactivated.
- Update Alexa Skills: Ensure all your Alexa skills are up to date, as outdated skills might cause unexpected behaviors.
- Reset Notifications: Double-check your notification settings in the Alexa app to ensure no unexpected notifications are enabled.
By following these steps, I was able to pinpoint and disable the routine causing the early morning chime. It’s a relief to have peace in the mornings again!
