A flashing yellow Echo light signals a message or notification

Engadget ·

A slowly flashing yellow light on an Amazon Echo means Alexa has a message or notification, such as a delivery update, reminder or price alert. The light is designed to draw attention to information and can be cleared by asking Alexa to read your notifications or messages.

Users can manage alerts in the Alexa app under Settings > Notifications, with separate controls for reminders, Skills and connected cameras. To handle a reminder, ask Alexa about reminders and then dismiss, snooze, turn off or reschedule it; other Echo light colours indicate different device states.
