Maximum number of timers?
« on: December 16, 2016, 07:22:16 am »
I am thinking of getting an Echo. 

I often need to set several timers (such as 5 minutes from now, 30 minutes from now, at eight o'clock, and so on).

How many timers does Alexa support?

I don't know what the maximum is, but I've had as many as 6 timers set at once.

I don't think there is a limit (or if there is, it's very high).

Be aware that it doesn't give you any indication of which timer is beeping!

for the fun of it, set as many timers as you can to see if there is a limit.  then leave the house and let someone else deal with them going off.

This is either a great prank idea, or a great way to ensure that your Echo ends up in the trash. :)

A timer identifier is a must-have improvement.
