Do not disturb mode
To enable Do Not Disturb mode on Alexa, navigate to Settings > Devices > Do Not Disturb. Toggling this mode on will stop Alexa from calling out notifications for the next two hours. Alternatively, you can set the time that Do Not Disturb is turned off. You can also schedule the mode to work only on certain days or times of the day. To turn off Do Not Disturb mode for all of your devices, click on the toggle switch next to “Schedule” in the same way.
Changing the wake word is a simple process, but the key is knowing how to do it correctly. In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at how to set up Do Not Disturb on Amazon Echo speakers. You can use the app to change the wake word, but remember to save it before you start the process. Once you’re done, turn off Do Not Disturb mode on Alexa and check to see if it’s working correctly.
Turning off Hunches
You’ve probably heard about Amazon’s new feature, Hunches. But how do you turn them off? Turning off Hunches in Amazon Alexa is as simple as turning the feature off in the app. Open the app and tap the menu button, and then select Preferences, and then tap Hunches. Toggling Hunches on and off is just a few taps away.
To turn off hunches in the Alexa app, go to the More option. In this menu, select Notifications and Hunches. Then tap the toggle next to Hunches. This will shut off any Alexa responses that are not necessary. Instead, it will only acknowledge simple commands. Once this is done, click OK and restart Alexa. It should now recognize and turn off Hunches.
Amazon Alexa is compatible with a wide variety of smart home devices. Hunches can control lights, switches, thermostats, locks, plugs, and even smart vacuums. SONOFF’s devices, including its S31 Wi-Fi smart plug and POWR2 Wi-Fi smart switch, are also compatible with Alexa.

Disabling voice commands
If you find yourself constantly shouting at your Echo device, you may want to disable voice commands on Alexa. To do this, you need to open the settings app and go to “General.” Then, find the microphone and tap it. Now, press the mute button, then tap the microphone again. To re-enable voice commands, you must say the wake word or ask a question.
You may want to consider deleting the recordings that your device makes. Fortunately, you can disable this feature within the Alexa app. By doing so, your recordings will no longer be saved. If you’d prefer not to store recordings, you can disable them entirely. If you’d like to keep your recordings, however, you’ll need to delete them manually. However, if you want to delete them completely, you need to turn off the recording feature in your device.
Blocking contacts from calling you
If you have an Amazon Echo or other smart home device, you might have heard about the difficulty in blocking individual contacts from calling you. Amazon doesn’t make it easy to block specific contacts, so there’s no easy way to remove those numbers from your address book. But you don’t have to worry; there’s a workaround. Here’s how to prevent robocalls and other annoying calls from Alexa.
First, open the app and select the settings menu. Scroll down to the Block Contacts option. Click the menu on the right side, then select “Block Contacts.” Now, your contact list will show only the names of people you’ve blocked. You can also unblock any contact who has blocked you from receiving calls from your Alexa device. Then, select the contact you want to block in the app.
