set alarms on phone

[Mork74]

so i can tell alexa via dot to set an alarm, will this set it to my phone if setup etc?

Nope. If you tell Alexa to set an alarm it will set the alarm on the echo dot you are speaking to. If you have other echo dots the alarm won't be set on them or your phone.

hhmmm defeats my object, i dont want Alexa to wake me up even if i had a second dot in the bedroom and would wake wife up also.
was hoping to add an alarm to a phone i had sync'd etc

If you want it on your phone you can say "hey Siri set an alarm" or "ok Google set an alarm" right on your phone.

true i can just would be good if alexa could do all, one of the points of it, to do almost all

The Alexa is becoming smarter and we are still in the infancy as time goes on who knows all the processes that it will be able to perform.

Well, no.  The point of Echo is to do things that an audio interface can do well, not to do "all" (or even almost all).  If you actually have that expectation for any product you're going to be sorely disappointed.
