[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an echo show for my parent, it’s an absolute life saver. I set up daily reminders 3x a day for medications, he listens to radio or watches programs all day with it, uses it for weather, he makes grocery lists on it for me, and he uses it to call me and other people. I have the Alexa app on my phone, so I can receive calls and even to a remote video “drop in” if I’m worried about him. He asks Alexa what day it is, every 10 minutes, it’s hilarious. There is also some paid add ons, called Alexa assist, but I don’t use those. If he falls and can’t get up, he yells out “Alexa call so-and-so” and it’s helpful. Mind you, he forgets the name and often yells at Alexa. “Alice what day is it” “Anne what day is it” “ Alison what day is it”[/quote] My neighbor yells "Wife's name, what time is it"....loudly and gets mad when Alexa doesn't answer....just like the SNL skit.
