Using Alexa as an alarm clock - how it works

Among many other features, Amazon Echo devices are also equipped with an alarm clock function, which you can activate and set at any time using the voice assistant Alexa, among others.

Alexa: Set alarm by voice

If you want to use your Amazon Echo device as an alarm clock, you can do so conveniently by voice input. The voice assistant Alexa will then do the rest for you.

1. If you want to set a one-time alarm clock, say, for example, "Alexa, set an alarm to [time] on [day]". When specifying the time, be sure to distinguish between morning and evening. For example, if you want to set an alarm for 8pm, say "Alexa, set an alarm for 8pm". If the voice assistant is not sure whether you mean morning or evening, it will ask.
2. If you want the alarm clock to repeat itself, you can also set this by voice input. For example, you can select a specific day by saying, "Alexa, set a repeating alarm for [day] at [time]."
3. Alternatively to alarm tones, you can also ask Alexa to wake you up with music. If you use Spotify, say, "Alexa, wake me up on Friday at 8:00 with Spotify."
4. Sobald der Wecker klingelt, können Sie ihn mit dem Sprachbefehl „Alexa, stopp“ ausschalten oder indem Sie „Alexa, schlummern“ sagen in den Schlummermodus versetzen.
5. Möchten Sie einen Wecker löschen, klappt das mit dem Sprachbefehl „Alexa, Wecker löschen“. Alexa zählt Ihnen dann sämtliche Wecker auf, die Sie löschen können.
