Set Up Alexa Alarms 

You can use Alexa as a replacement for the traditional alarm clock by saying "Alexa, set an alarm." Alexa asks you for the day and time and sets the alarm after you provide the details. You can also include the information in one shot. Say "Alexa, set an alarm for 10:45 am today" or "Alexa, set an alarm for 8 am tomorrow." Or ask for a recurring alarm to sound off every day, specific weekdays, or every weekend. ("Alexa, set a recurring alarm for 7 am every Monday.")

To set an alarm from the Alexa app, tap the More icon and select Alarms & Timers. Tap Add Alarm and set the time, the device on which you want to hear the alarm, and the interval. You can even set an alarm to trigger a certain tone or piece of music instead of the typical alarm sound. When the alarm goes off, your Echo device will play the sound you set up. You can say "Alexa, stop" to turn it off or "Alexa, snooze" to postpone the alarm for nine minutes.

Keep track of your alarms by asking "Alexa, what are my alarms?" Check the Alarms section in the Alexa app to review your existing alarms, or create new ones. Tap a specific alarm to alter its time, change its sound, modify its interval, or delete it. Delete an alarm by swiping left and tapping Delete. Or say “Alexa, delete [time of alarm]" or "Alexa, delete all alarms."
