Amazon's clever voice assistant Alexa shows its status via a light ring on the housing. If it lights up red, it can have different meanings - depending on whether the ring lights up permanently or pulsates.
Alexa lights up red - this means the status message
Amazon's Alexa can communicate various status messages via a colored light ring. In addition to a green and yellow glow, the color red also indicates something specific.
- Steady glowing: If the ring of the voice assistant is solid red, this means that the microphones of the device are switched off. Alexa does not listen to you in this state and therefore cannot accept any voice commands. Press the microphone button on the device to turn the microphones back on.
- Pulsating glow: If Alexa only flashes red for a limited period of time, this indicates a problem with the internet connection. In this case, you should check your online access and make sure that you have configured Alexa correctly.
- The pulsing red ring also appears when the Amazon servers are unreachable. You can check whether there is currently a fault on the website of allestault.de.
In the next practical tip we will explain in detail how you can create individual routines for Alexa and thus carry out several actions with just one voice command.
