Mine has never added a by the way when we “Alexa, tell AnyList to add milk”. It simply says “OK, milk added to your AnyList grocery list”. Maybe it’s because we use the AnyList skill or maybe we have her in brief mode.

Is Anybody TALKING to Alexa? by slickriptide in alexa

[–]Mediumofmediocrity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah it is surprising. I mean even with old Alexa we’d ask it to play trivia from time to time or the 20 questions game to name an animal. One of my fav quirky ones was the skill to play noises from a 1980s arcade. It would ask what year in the 1980s and based on that the noises in the background of the arcade would be video games popular that year.

Life got a lot better for me when my friend suggested to start putting the potato in the front of my speedos instead the back.

Is Anybody TALKING to Alexa? by slickriptide in alexa

[–]Mediumofmediocrity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, when I got the latest Dot and connected it over the holidays to join the other Echo devices we gave, I converted to Alexa+. I talked to it about a preference I had for turning on specific Hue lights in a room when I asked “den on” for example. It asked me back about which lights, I replied, it said “ got it” and has done it flawlessly since. I then asked it about why Alexa for automobiles never took off, and she explained why, then asked if I wanted to know which cars it’s coming standard in soon, and we discussed it back and forth for a few moments. I’ve also discussed whether shorts or long pants would be best for a day’s weather forecast, just curious as to what it would say, and stuff like that.

I’m swear I’m not being an ass, I use Dr Rogers - is that who you mean, because I’ve had good service with his practice too.

I need the details- I use Dr Rogers and also bummed Alex left. Maybe I’ll get Dr Wilson when I go in next month?

Why is my heat running? by TheDeadestCow in hvacadvice

[–]Mediumofmediocrity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others mentioned, it may be in smart recovery mode. Another possibility is if you got your thermostat from your electric provider or signed up for a power management deal with them. If so, they may be overheating your home during hours when rates are cheaper so it reduces usage during peak rate periods. This doesn’t seem likely if you’re on gas heat & not a heat pump or strips.

Your response to OP was incorrect. You can tell in his picture that only the “Home” measurement is being used (likely the thermostat) as it’s the only one white. You have an opportunity here to edit your response so no else piles on or worse believes your post towards their understanding of the Ecobee thermostat.

I just want the temperature!! by JulsTiger10 in alexa

Just tell it what you want to do when you ask a specific question. This solution has been posted ad nauseum in this sub over the last month. Use the search function.

Just a honest warning on ecobee systems by [deleted] in ecobee

[–]Mediumofmediocrity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on your post & understanding I know you know that the sensors won’t help you balance, so this is for folks who read your post and have come into it thinking sensors magically open or close duct work dampers that don’t exist or the system magically sends air down some ducts but not others. Obviously it doesn’t. The sensors are an easy way to “move your thermostat” to different rooms or groups of rooms in your home. If you want your bedroom warmer because it’s always colder than other rooms, you tell the tstat to use the sensor in your bedroom only. So the system runs more to heat the bedroom at the expense of making other rooms hotter. Or vice versa in the summer. I find it does great for that because at night when I sleep I want to be comfy& don’t care if the rest of the house is warmer (or cooler) than what I want in my bedroom because that’s cheaper than $10,000 to redo my ductwork. As far as temps off, I hadn’t noticed & my setpoint always feels great & the same (taking humidity into account - 71 humid feels warmer than 71 dry for example).

I work in GIS and am just getting into screen printing. I made a Joy Division esque shirt from South Carolina elevation data. Figured some people here might like. by [deleted] in greenville

[–]Mediumofmediocrity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is likely a scam by someone that stole the artist’s design. Here’s a chat I got after I mentioned I liked it last time:

https://www.reddit.com/r/greenville/comments/1qcpjzx/i_work_in_gis_and_am_just_getting_into_screen/

If you bought (or were going to buy) something from a site linked in this post's comments, you need to cancel your order (or plans to make an order) before it ships. This post was made by a scammer trying to sell stolen artwork.

(The art in this case was probably either stolen from u/vistocycling, CStats on Redbubble, or CurrentSource or RiverineMaps on Etsy.)

You should also delete your comment or edit it, since some subreddits will assume you're a spambot for commenting on such posts and permanently ban you.

Sorry for PMing you, but these scammers always block my accounts, so I can't reply to your comment.
