I've got a Dot on the night stand next to my bed. This morning around 5:00am I had turned over with my eyes facing the Dot and I must have been somewhere between sleep and awake when the Dot apparently updated its FW. At first I thought I was dreaming as these blue lights flickered through my eyelids, but then I sleepily opened my eyes and saw the Blue lit ring on the Dot doing its update dance. Arggghhhh! I wonder if there is a way to tell the Dot to behave between certain hours. I can set my iPhone to not ring or ping from calls, text messages, etc. between specified times. This is the first time Dot annoyed me awake, and I don't want it to become a thing with her. I guess I could place a cloth over her at night to keep the blue light from disturbing me. She made no sounds BTW. But setting a no update or interrupt time period would be better.
ETA: I found this
link with instructions for scheduling Do Not Disturb on Alexa devices, but I suspect it only prevents calls and messages from disturbing me. It seems to have very limited functionality.
