Anyone with a Show 5 and another Echo device (preferably one without a screen) notice something similar to this?
- Echo Plus 2 set up with "Echo" as wake word.
- Echo Show 5 set up with "Alexa" as wake word.
Speaking to my Echo Plus 2 a few feet away I said, "Echo, ask Brown Noise to loop."
(This is a command to have the Brown Noise skill play until stopped.)
The Echo Plus 2 runs the Brown Noise skill.
However, the Echo Show 5, which was showing the clock in its Home screen displays a visual screen for the Brown Noise skill. It doesn't play the sounds, the sounds are being played on the Echo Plus 2, but the Show 5 has taken it upon itself to display that the Brown Noise skill is playing on another device.
Speaking to my Echo Show 5 a few feet away I said, "Alexa, Home!"
The Echo Show 5 returns to the clock on the Home screen and stays there until morning.
I'm not sure if this is by design, are just another flaky annoyance with the Echo Show 5 Home screen. The Echo Show 5 constantly wants to leave the Home screen. It is as though it is looking for any reason to do that. It will flicker off momentarily every few minutes like it is going to show another useless Tip, but then flickers back on to the Home screen. It is a quick flickering, but annoying and noticeable. I do have ALL notifications turned off, but the Show 5 seems to go looking for something to notify me about anyway.
