Alexa flashes green - what you should know about it

Not only do you communicate with Alexa via voice command, but Alexa itself makes contact with you. For this, Alexa uses various light signals to attract your attention. This way, you won't be disturbed by sounds. We reveal what Alexa wants to tell you when it flashes green.

This is what Alexa wants from you when she flashes green

The signal when Alexa flashes green can be seen on the light ring located at the top of Alexa. This is also where the other signals are sent from.

1. Alexa communicates not just one message by flashing green, but two. In order for you to see this sign at all, you must have set up the phone or drop-in function in advance.
2. When Alexa flashes green, it can mean that another Echo device connected to Alexa wants to contact you. This is because you also have the option to use Alexa as an intercom.
3. At the same time, Alexa flashing green can also mean that you have a call on your smartphone and can answer it either through Alexa or the phone.
4. In either case, Alexa's green flashing signals you that someone wants to talk to you, and you can answer this request directly through Alexa.

How to respond to the signal

You have two ways to respond to Alexa's green flashing. Either say "Alexa, accept" to answer the call, or respond with "Alexa, ignore" to let the call go and not just cancel the request.
