This guide will show you how to turn off alarms, set timers, and manage reminders on Alexa-enabled devices like the Amazon Echo and Echo Dot. You can stop alarms and timers through voice commands or by pressing the snooze button on your Alexa device. Additionally, you can manage alarms, timers, and reminders using the Alexa app on Android or iPhone.
Steps to Follow
Say "Alexa". Use the wake word to activate Alexa, and she will start listening for your next command.
- The default wake word is "Alexa". However, if you have changed it to "Echo", "Amazon", or any other custom wake word, make sure to use the one you’ve set previously.
Ask Alexa to stop. Say "Alexa, stop," to stop any alarms or timers that are currently sounding. Instead of saying "stop", you can also use the following commands: (Since Alexa does not support the Vietnamese language, refer to the following English commands)
- Cancel
- Silence
- Halt
- End
- Hush
- Cease
- Abort
- Knock it off
- Lay off
- Discontinue
- Note that "Quiet" will not work as it only adjusts the volume level.
Ask Alexa to turn off the alarm. Say "Alexa, stop alarm" to turn off the alarm before it rings. If you have multiple alarms set, Alexa will list them in order, and you can choose which one you want to stop.
- This works the same way for timers. You can stop a specific timer by saying its name. For example: "Alexa, stop kitchen timer."
Press the snooze button. This button is located on the top of the device with a small dot. It also serves as the way to "wake up" Alexa. Pressing the snooze button will also stop any alarms or timers.
- If there’s background noise or if Alexa is having trouble hearing your voice for any reason, this is the fastest alternative.
Use the Alexa app to manage alarms, timers, and reminders. Open the Alexa app on your phone to control all alarm, timer, and reminder features. To manage alarms:
- Open the Alexa app.
- Tap ☰.
- Select Reminders & Alarms.
- Tap Reminders, Alarms, or Timers.
- Tap the alarm toggle to turn it off.
- Select a timer and tap Cancel.
- Select a reminder and tap Mark As Completed.
