Just got my echo in today and I seriously appreciate this video man! I hope you're doing well! And yes you have a new subscriber. You did this video very very well and I look forward to seeing more.
Thanks for the sub! Glad to help - hope you enjoy that new Echo - I have quite a few video about the Echo devices. All is well on my end - hope it's the same on your end.
Guard on mode! I never knew this function existed. My husband left to work and I was in the shower so he armed the alarm system on away. When I walked into the bedroom, we have Alexa on the nightstand and was wondering if our internet signal was weak or something. Thank you for this information, it was very useful!🙏🏼🙏🏼
this video was so helpful I just received my Echo dot 3rd gen in the mail today and when I started to set up there was that ugly yellow ring flashing and I hated it but whit this video telling me that I had a notification I Knew to say Alexa read me all notifications. thank you
I didn't know all of them. Had echo's for about 6 months now. Thanks, chard! Some day if you have time I would like to know more tips and tricks. What can we do with sensors and plugs combined and new stuff coming out? I don't have time to keep up with new stuff that will work with echo. I always search for this but not really getting what I want. How do I walk down the steps in a time frame that turns on lights, coffee maker and whatever else I want? (just an example)..Stuff like that... The Macgyver of the Echo show. I always enjoy your videos, you helped me immensely.
I got the Echo Flex with the night light. I thought about getting the motion sensor. The plugs that Amazon (and third party companies) make can be used to set up routines for the lights to turn on and music to play (or weather report with news). On those plugs they are great for lights and smaller electronics like a coffee maker. I don't think I'd ever use them for heavy watt items.
Hey Jim, sorry for the late respond, I must have overlooked you comment by accident, Glad you enjoyed this video & yes I have many tips and tricks about the Echo I will share in upcoming videos & the steps, so stay tuned...
Mine is doing the same. But I don’t know if it’s a light green or light blue. At first I thought it could be a notification. But I can’t figure out what it is
After many tries of turning off the power. (It wasn’t guarding my home) but the light was like it was. I turned on guard mode and right after turned it off. And the light stopped ringing. My best guess it was a bug when I disabled the first time and it kept with the light on
Thanks for the video. I have 6 echo dots (2nd and 3rd gen) and they all have a solid light blue ring with a brighter light blue section that circles about once a second. Any thoughts on what this would be?
@@MarceMedina1294 lmao just unplug it and plug it back in. I accidentally unplugged mine and it fixed it right away. Don’t know why I didn’t think of that in the first place.
Usually you get the green rign color on your Echo device notifying you your package has arrived. I've noticed the delivery drivers sometimes take a photo of where they placed your package and sending that photo to your cell phone (if it's linked to your account). As far as the Echo show, I believe it's a thin green light running along the top edge of your screen. You'll also get a notification light when the item has left the warehouse and is in the process of being delivered.
The echo show 5 has a green line of notification that runs along the top edge. So if say you are watching a video you'll see the green line when the item you ordered is out for delivery. You'll also see the green line when it's delivered. You can simply ask "Alexa read my notifications" to hear her tell you.
I think you forgot the other red ring of alexa it means that alexa cannot connect to your WiFi or contact the amazon severs and you have to connected back to the alexa appp
Not sure what's causing that, try restarting the device or factory reset it. Amazon Echo: Factory Reset or Deregister - th-cam.com/video/E8y7tILiHns/w-d-xo.html
Man, it should would be nice if this thing could like talk or something,a nd actually tell you what the problem was, instead of cryptic light codes. hey wait....
My girlfriend bought a new echo and it just made a noise and when I went in the front room it was on and it was green. Is she ease dropping on me?!..... 🤔🤨
My device is solid red, I tried to unmute it and it doesn't work, I also tried to unplug it and plug it back in, I can't find the factory reset in my iso app
Red flashing usually means no internet connection. Solid red means muted. But if none of these apply I would have to say there's some other issues going on. Have you tried resetting the device? Suggested video: Amazon Echo Factory Reset or Deregister - th-cam.com/video/E8y7tILiHns/w-d-xo.html
Fuck help me my alexa suddenly started and showed that noise was going on in front of me but infront of me is a wall is this signs of my house being haunted?
What I’m having trouble with it’s just a solid green ring not the one that spins because I do have mine on guard mode which I like not the ones that indicates messages or notifications or droppings this is just a solid green ring that’s turn on all the time it’s been on for a couple of months and I can’t turn it off. Do you understand what I’m asking? It’s a solid green colored ring but not those other rings that you’ve indicated because I know what the other ones are I’m just looking for the answer to the solid green ring if you know the answer let me know.
@@tirsomorales750 That could be true but when my internet is out it's just blue or green normal light but when I say something It just says please check ur internet connection
A drop in is basically the same as calling you through the alexa but it doesnt need to be picked up or anything and wont ring if you have another echo device and you want to talk to someone in that room you can say "Alexa drop in on {your device name here}" and it will essentially call that device and let you talk through and hear through the device its like I said very similar to calling just it doesnt ring nor have to be picked up if you only have one echo device the drop in feature is fairly pointless.
Thanks man amazon should pay you. Way easier to understand this way. Do you know what a solid green ring and 2 tone ping sound(like notification sound) means? Noticed it while at my grandparents house. It stayed solid green and didn’t change.

Great and simple description . I already knew what all their circles and rings meant but I've never seen anyone post anything about it so great work
I wish all TH-camrs make such clean to the point video like this, thank you
Thank you for helping me to understand the purpose of the ring lights on my echo, I really appreciate it
Thank you Chard for this information. I had not known or run into several of these light color changes.
You are welcome, now you know if you see them.

Thanks man you fixed my Alexa i had no idea i had a message on my Alexa 🙏🏾
You are welcome - glad to help
Guard mode is only available with the BLINK HOME MONITOR.
How do I break the ring light right up Max and what do I say thank you very much if you let me know
Thank you - not sure what you are asking about the Max
can we keep these lights on while hearing the music
This was very helpful and informitive. I had no idea about these other colors! I learned some new stuff!
What does a solid green light mean on Echo Dot4/with/clock?
My gen 4 dot has a solid green ring. Clock is not displaying. App says offline.
That doesn't sound good, I would recommend you contact Amazon support.
EXCELLENT!!
Thank you
My device is showing full green ring lighter to darker so what I can do

Thank you very much! Very helpful!! 👍🏻
You're welcome! Glad to help
Thank you! I have been struggling to find out what was going on with my Echos. 🤩
I couldn’t but realize that your cover photo for this video looked like the special olympics symbol. Haha
You know, now that I look at it, just a coincident.
There is also a solid yellow light when you have a notification
I have pulsing lime green ring and when I say cancel call it say no coming call and continue to pulsate lime green. what do I do?
fixed the problem by saying cancel notification.
Alexa: (Starts up) is first ring
Thank you for this update (? How do I chane pass word on the main Echo box ) ?
I FIRST GOT A CALL WHEN I HAD A ACTIVE CALL OR DROP IN!
Thanks for the video. I have 6 echo dots (2nd and 3rd gen) and they all have a solid light blue ring with a brighter light blue section that circles about once a second. Any thoughts on what this would be?
This probably means your alexa is trying to connect or means all are connected
keep it up with Alexa item a Big thank you to you.
Why Alexas light is spinning as if it’s in guard mode but it’s spinning blue and I’ve tried to look up everywhere to fix it
same :(
@@MarceMedina1294 lmao just unplug it and plug it back in. I accidentally unplugged mine and it fixed it right away. Don’t know why I didn’t think of that in the first place.
Could be in pairing mode or doing a software update. If none of these apply, I would power it down and let sit for awhile before you power it back on
SAME! Started a few days ago.
@@ChardTheTechGuy THANKS! I had no idea what this was. I’ll try it. I’m not technically gifted so was super confused.
Mine is blinking blue On and Off do you know what it means
I can’t connect to the internet
Try rebooting it
Could you fix it? I am having the same problem with my Echo 2nd Gen.
How do I unmute it ? Thanks for your video 😊
I purchased it recently, but a day I came home my alexa is light is yellow. What does it mean??
Looking forward for ur response
That usually means that you have a notification or a message from an Alexa contact
Al I know is when I get that pulsing yellow light I know my package is here.. And I start doing the nae nae dance..
I know what you mean Bro, mine is flashing right now and keep flashing at least twice a week.
Same
Excellent Video thank you
You're welcome
I turn off guard mode and it’s still spinning any help?
Try powering down the device and see what happens.
@@ChardTheTechGuy I did turn off guard mode then turn on then turn off and it fixed it
Thank you you are right and all the lights it was very helpful this video clear precise and super helped me in my process thumbs up
Hi when you buy stuff from Amson how do you get a message when your package turned up on echo show 5 hope it makes sense
Usually you get the green rign color on your Echo device notifying you your package has arrived. I've noticed the delivery drivers sometimes take a photo of where they placed your package and sending that photo to your cell phone (if it's linked to your account). As far as the Echo show, I believe it's a thin green light running along the top edge of your screen. You'll also get a notification light when the item has left the warehouse and is in the process of being delivered.
Hi I got echo show 4
Sorry I got echo show 5
The echo show 5 has a green line of notification that runs along the top edge. So if say you are watching a video you'll see the green line when the item you ordered is out for delivery. You'll also see the green line when it's delivered. You can simply ask "Alexa read my notifications" to hear her tell you.
Barot8 thanks
I think you forgot the other red ring of alexa it means that alexa cannot connect to your WiFi or contact the amazon severs and you have to connected back to the alexa appp
When I say Alexa it, it turns blue for a second and then turns purple after. What does this mean?
That sounds like a Wi-Fi connection issue. May be it's too far way from the router or just having connection issue, try restarting the device
Thanks, my echo device continous to lit in circle even if I turned off the guard mode 🤔, how can i remove it?
You're welcome - check to make sure it's not a notification - the other option is to power it off and reboot the device
Thank you for a second I thought I was haunted but do you know what it means if it’s says hello where the time is sopose to be
Not sure what's causing that, try restarting the device or factory reset it. Amazon Echo: Factory Reset or Deregister - th-cam.com/video/E8y7tILiHns/w-d-xo.html

YES
How do I make the Alexa stop listening? All of my devices started “listening” and I can’t turn that off.
just press "mute mike" button on it
Answered my question. Thank you
My device is solid red, I tried to unmute it and it doesn't work, I also tried to unplug it and plug it back in, I can't find the factory reset in my iso app

Mine is just stuck in the starting up process been like this for ages
Try muting alexa then turn off or plugin again if this glitching progress starts
So is mine now 😂😢
Same
Fuck help me my alexa suddenly started and showed that noise was going on in front of me but infront of me is a wall is this signs of my house being haunted?
Dat sus
what is the spinning blue ring
that’s when it’s restarting
Thank you for explaining the differences.. 😅
Alexa: (Starting to talk)
1:12 I ask here and she saids I have no notifications nor messages
Hmm check the alexa app and see your notification bell, It should stop
Thanks man❤
No problem 👍
Alexa:
How about it’s a solid green?
Agreed my dot started this yesterday it won’t factory reset. Spent an hour speaking with a Hindi and no luck.
Try to reset the device and set it up again. Amazon Echo: Factory Reset or Deregister th-cam.com/video/E8y7tILiHns/w-d-xo.html

@@ChardTheTechGuy is it ok if I just leave it like that mine is blinking yellow well something go bad if i leave it like that sorry for being late
Thank you that help me out a lot
Thanx bruh needed this respek
Glad I could help
the pulsing blue and light blue one is also night light

Which color when someone record you?
Red and blue flash
Thank you!
What about pair ? How to
orange?
???
It’s in set up mode
Thanks man😊
Thank you.
My first green light for a call was the ROTATING GREEN LIGHT
Oh yeah, I love it
Blue ring+little thingy of light blue ring?
Thank you so much. Very helpful video
I love this
What about red 2
Red Dose
Not mean mute
Red prevents hear from listening
There’s also a flashing red, which means Alexa has problems with the internet connection.
@@tirsomorales750 That could be true but when my internet is out it's just blue or green normal light but when I say something It just says please check ur internet connection
Anyone else here after their misses’s Alexa turned green at the dinner table when everyone started pressuring them to get the vaccines?
Nope
What about a solid blue light? That's what I came here for.
Solid blue usually means the devices is listening & waiting for you to make a request.
@@ChardTheTechGuy how do i turn blue light off
Good
Thank you
You're welcome.
Circling orange is also updating
Mine circles yellow when updating not orange, I have the old old old one though xD
Mine is from 2016
My echo worked perfectly for a few days, but now it just sits there deaf and dumb.
why doesn't my Alexa light up when I play music ?!
It only lights up when you make requests or does one of the other things I describe in the video
My alexa is always in orange colour fully
you forgot the rare alarm one
I still don’t understand what drop in meaning
A drop in is basically the same as calling you through the alexa but it doesnt need to be picked up or anything and wont ring if you have another echo device and you want to talk to someone in that room you can say "Alexa drop in on {your device name here}" and it will essentially call that device and let you talk through and hear through the device its like I said very similar to calling just it doesnt ring nor have to be picked up if you only have one echo device the drop in feature is fairly pointless.

G looks💯
When I said Alexa she turned red and said your echo lost It’s connection take a look at the help section in your Alexa app
Orange light that is setup

okay
Why is a light rings
My alexa was yellow for an hour so I asked her what my notification was and she said "no new notifications" SHES STILL YELLOW! HELPPPP
Same what did you do
@@Ghost-ux4fl It eventually turned off on its own although it did take awhile.
@@Rockconsoomer it also happened to me loll, edventually we opened do not disturb mode lol
