Okay thanks. That was not intuitive. I keep forgetting that the AI in Alexa has to be tweaked via other devices.
Here is what I find in the Alexa app on my iThingies:
- Reminders: Cannot set volume, cannot set default sound
- Alarms: Can set volume, can set default sound
- Timers: Can set volume, cannot set default sound

This feature is far too temperamental and wonky for me to rely on it. Seems like by the time Alexa understands the command, a significant part of the desired time period would have elapsed. I'll wait for an update.

Alexa is a verbatim kind of girl for sure! AI my backside....
I say, "Alexa, set egg timer for 1 minute." She responds, "Setting egg timer for 1 minute starting now." One minute later I get the three chimes, this repeats until I tell her to stop.
