I'm not happy as Alexa is down and I had to get out of bed to turn the light on and make my own coffee

Anyone else having issues?

You do know you have to do that every morning because we don't have smart lights or a smart kettle right?

If I were you I would actually turn them off because I did see something on Twitter with someone claiming that it had been hacked and the advice was to turn them off but I don't know if that's true.

What do they do for you?

I’ve never had one or seen the need? I’m curious.

I haven't actually made myself a morning coffee in 2 and a 1/2 years because I have a lovely man to do it for me.

Just give her a stern talking to and put a tea towel over her and leave her like that for a while. She hates that, and being ignored. Lol.

It seems to be in London and other parts of the country but also across Europe. Seems to be affecting some areas and not others.

Dont know maybe meatloaf was the voice of Alexa, or is it a coincidence.

My Siri worked fine.

Had my programmed sunrise, gentle alarm. Then I asked her to turn the lights off while I pondered my existence.

She obliged and worked as expected.

Went downstairs on the hall light was working to a script and lit up as I entered for breakfast.

She's working fine now, I asked her what the problem was and she said "I don't have an answer for that", so she's in the dark too
