    I just noticed that Alexa is having difficulty when I ask to display a schedule, no matter how I pronounce the word. If anybody else is noticing this, the word timetable will also work with the skill.

    Does the weather on EvoControl update for you when using the skill? I guess it would because the AWS cloud is polling the weather and merely sending the values down to your Echo Show. The value of a...

    Just to add that “I’m having problems with that right now” is not the skill but the Alexa service itself glitching. There’s no such error message in the skill. You may also get “I’m having problems...
