A flashing yellow light on your Alexa device typically indicates that you have a notification or a message from an Alexa contact. This feature is designed to grab your attention and let you know that there is something you need to check or respond to. It’s a convenient way for Alexa to notify you about important updates or messages.
If you see a flashing yellow light on your Alexa device, there are a few steps you can take to find out what the notification or message is. The first thing you can try is simply asking Alexa, “What notifications do I have?” This will prompt Alexa to read out any pending notifications for you. It could be a reminder, a weather update, or even a notification from a third-party skill that you have enabled.
If asking about notifications doesn’t yield any results, you can try asking Alexa directly about your messages. Simply say, “What messages do I have?” This will prompt Alexa to check if you have any new messages from your Alexa contacts. It’s worth noting that this feature requires you to have set up messaging and calling features with your Alexa contacts beforehand.
Once you’ve asked Alexa about your notifications or messages, she will either read them out to you or let you know if there are no pending notifications or messages at the moment.
It’s important to remember that the flashing yellow light is not an indication of an error or a problem with your Alexa device. It’s simply a way for Alexa to get your attention and let you know that there is something you should check. Once you’ve checked your notifications or messages, the flashing yellow light should go away.
A flashing yellow light on your Alexa device is a notification or message indicator. By asking Alexa about your notifications or messages, you can find out what you need to check or respond to. It’s a helpful feature that keeps you informed and connected with your Alexa contacts.
