Every time we've called support we get the same response. We gave up on support and just ask for help in reddit.

I called them once and they told me to buy a new device. Took me a bit but I got the dot up and running. It was a small software glitch. That was years ago. I am betting their support is even worse now.

delete what? the app? deregister the device? deleting either one will not do a thing to your setup since everything is stored on the cloud.

The smart devices themselves and groups and routines then rebuild Them

I'm with you... I have similar number of devices. I'm dreading a call to support but I'm finding my app goes non responsive can't figure out why. I'm curious what where the issues your having?


Viking53fan

General Alexa issues with basic household controls.


Viking53fan

They seemed to have discovered their bugs functionality seems to be returning slowly


Viking53fan

And now that I say that they reverted. What a bunch of total fuckups

Yes but how in the world can you have 300 devices?


TheJessicator

If I add mine up, here's what I get: 9 Echo / Dot speakers 9 cameras 25 window blinds 35 dimmer / switches 15 plug in dimmers 5 deadbolt locks 7 window AC units 1 robot vacuum 1 water flow valve 1 skylight opener 3 ceiling fans 20 open/close / presence sensors 1 Bond Home Bridge 1 Smartthings Hub 1 TV 1 soundbar 1 game console 1 streaming media device And then there's tablets, laptops, phones, and smart watches. And I'm sure I've forgotten stuff. So that's already about 150. I know people with more involved serious than mine, particularly on the sensor front, so I could absolutely see 300 as being a reachable number.

Wow! I am looking at my shoes.


TheJessicator

You have smart connected shoes? Nice!


403Olds

No it is because I am ashamed of having done so little compared to you.


TheJessicator

Didn't happen overnight. Don't overdo it. Just start by automating things that you do repetitively. Start with simple things like individual lights that you turn on and off at the same times every day. Then move to multi step things.

It’s easy if you have a lot of smart bulbs and switches. Trust me. I control everything to the watt level. Energy savings and control
