This is what I've been waiting for! NEW TIMER FUNCTIONS!
From an email I just received:
Quote:
Right on time
Introducing two new ways to make the most of your time. First, Alexa users can now set named timers. Second, you can ask for proactive reminders about upcoming events or tasks and Alexa will notify you through your Echo device. Just ask:
- "Alexa, set a pasta timer for 9 minutes."
- "Alexa, remind me to call Mom on Saturday at 2pm."
- "Alexa, what are my reminders this weekend?"

I just tested the timer. When time was up, Echo beeped as usual and also said, "Your pasta timer is done." This is going to be a great help since I can't always remember
why I set a particular timer, especially when I have several at once.
