It is getting frustrating to have to repeat the commands before she finally gets it right. Maybe she is going through her teenage revolt years. She better start behaving though or she might get kicked out of the house!
ETA: I always make sure there is no other talking going on before giving a command to Alexa. That is, I mute the TV or whatever audio source that is on. It doesn't take much to confuse her.

Strange. I've had something similar start happening--I ask Alexa for the weather, and the Dot lights up, so it "hears" me, but then I get nothing, not even a "don't understand" response. Had to try three times today before I got the weather report.
