Set Up Alexa Timers

Don't use the microwave as an egg timer anymore—use Alexa's named timer functionality to juggle multiple timers at one time. ("Alexa, set an egg timer for 3 minutes" if you're boiling an egg or "Alexa, set a laundry timer for 30 minutes," for example.)

Your timers appear in the Timers section of the Alexa app, where you can pause or cancel each one and change its volume. You can also ask "Alexa, what are my timers?" It will give you the names and countdowns of your current timers. Want to delete a timer? Tell Alexa to cancel or pause a specific timer or cancel them all in one command.

When you set up a timer on your Echo device, Alexa will chime in and tell you the countdown has hit zero. Say "Alexa, turn off the timer" or just say "Alexa, stop" to shut it off.
