Wait does the alarm on Alexa rely on the server side? 💀🤡
There’s way too much stuff that relies on internet access. If I’m at home, and my washing machine (which is also at home) wants to tell me when it’s done, why does that need to use the internet?
I try to stick to Zigbee or Z-wave devices where possible, since they’re guaranteed to be local-only. If I need access when I’m away from home, I connect with a VPN to access Home Assistant.
They don’t rely on the server to sound an already scheduled alarm but they do rely on the server to set the next one for a repeating alarm.
Man, if only there were some way to push a schedule to a device, then it could use its own clock to know when to go off
But that technology is too advanced for Amazon
Lmao that’s dumb
there were reports of roombas not getting up because us-east-1 was down, don’t be so surprised
I am confused about who doesn’t use their cell phone alarm to wake up.
Sometimes if I want to take a short nap, it’s way easier to ask alexa or google to wake me up in 30mins, than set up an alarm.
Not using my phone, but a dedicated alarm clock on my nightstand. Mainly because I can see the time and what alarm preset is active at a glance.
I have home assistant(no internet needed) turn in the light from off to dim to bright over 5 mins. Such a nicer way to wake up than an alarm.
Me too, it’s so much more.natural way to wake up… but it’s still tied to the alarm time of my phone (which also fades in slowly)
How do you do that?
Not sure why you’re confused, but alarm clocks still exist too 😉
Oh, I forgot that some use Alexa as an alarm clock
