First of all, by following the usual drill reboot your router and then restart your Echo. If this doesn’t work and else everything on the network is working properly then reposition your Echo and keep it away from those devices that may be creating interference in between the signals.

Alexa’s Non-Connectivity to Other Devices

Alexa has the ability to act as a voice controlled smart home hub for a wide range of devices. But, you have to make sure that the device must be compatible with the Echo.

The Alexa app will enable you to control devices in a group. By this, you can control multiple devices in a single command. If Alexa is unable to recognize the commands, then it must be failed to understand the name.

You will have to remember that Alexa will not recognize the device of your choice. You will always have to create an IFTTT recipe for it.

Alexa’s Non-Understanding Nature

Alexa’s most uttered phrase of I am sorry, I don’t understand the question, may frustrate you at times. Its voice recognition improves naturally as it starts getting to know you. But you should always avoid repeating yourself.

You can start this by using voice training tool of Alexa. You will be asked to say at least 25 pre-selected phrases that will help Alexa in understanding your commands. Next, you have to check what exactly Alexa has heard. By going to the settings and hit history of Alexa app you can check the misheard or wrongly heard words and try to express them more clearly.

Last but not the least, check the position of Alexa. Keep Alexa away from any kind of noise so that it can clearly hear and understand you.
