Hi Richard, Do you do this by voice or in the app? Just asking because while I knew you could ask to set a timer for a certain length and name it, e.g. French Fries or Eggs, when I just asked my speaker "What are my timers" I was told that I had no timers. You said you created a coffee and tea timer so it almost sounds like those are saved like you can set and save multiple alarms. If that is so then shouldn't you be able to ask what timers are available?
From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: November 11, 2021 9:02 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: I learned something about the Amazon Lady and timers There has been a lot of discussion about the Amazon devices and Google devices lately. I only have Amazon devices. I may be the last one to know this, but if I’m not, I thought I would share what I figured out today. When using a device like an Echo or Sonos speaker with the A lady, I would set timers for my coffee and my wife’s tea. I would always just speak the amount of time. I knew you could have multiple timers going at once and it would distinguish between them by the length. I then decided to give them a name. Tea Timer and Coffee Timer. Now, I can just say to it, Start the tea timer. Or start the coffee timer and the length is already set. There you have it.
