I tried setting another 5:30 alarm from the app and it told me that alarms need to be set for a FUTURE TIME. WTF? 5:30 WAS a future time!
Then I checked the time on the living room Echo and she said it was 4:50 pm, exactly right, but the Spot in the bedroom said it was 5:50. So the alarm and the Spot were exactly one hour fast, but the time Alexa reported was right.
Aha! Alexa is confused by Daylight Saving Time, and has at least two time standards. One got it right but the other (2?) didn't.
I sent at trouble ticket to Amazon Customer Service saying "Does Alexa know that Hawaii and Arizona doesn't come under daylight savings time?" and received a reply from their AI named Vivek Chaudhary, saying:
It would seem that Jeff's Artificial Intelligence engine is not all that intelligent.

If you live in a mobile home, isn't the most likely explanation that your bedroom happened to be in a different time zone?
