Simple Techniques to Stop Alarms with Alexa

• The easiest way to stop an Alexa alarm is by saying, "Alexa, stop."
• If you can't use your voice, the next easiest solution is to press the button on the speaker.
• Alternatively, if you're away from home, you can use the Alexa mobile app to stop an alarm remotely.

Using Voice Commands

Ask Alexa to stop. Say "Alexa, stop," to stop any alarm or timer currently going off. Or, instead of "stop," you can also say the following: Cancel Silence Halt End Hush Cease Abort Knock it off Lay off Discontinue Note that "Quiet" won't work, this will just decrease the volume one step.

Ask Alexa to disable an alarm before it goes off. If you set an alarm with Alexa but don't need it anymore, say, Alexa, stop alarm. If you have more than one active alarm, Alexa will list them for you by their time and you can select which one you would like to stop. This also works the same with timers. You can stop a particular timer you have named by saying its name. For example, "Alexa, stop kitchen timer." If you keep hearing the news at 7am each morning but Alexa says that you have no alarms set, you might have a routine scheduled. Go to your Alexa mobile app and select More > Routines. You can tap the three-dot menu icon there and select Delete if you don't want to use that routine anymore.

Other Ways to Stop Alarms

Press the action button on your Echo device. This is the button on top of the device with a dot on it. Pressing the wake button will also stop a ringing alarm or timer. If the room is very noisy or if Alexa isn't recognizing your voice for some other reason, this is the quickest alternative.

Use the Alexa app to manage alarms, timers, and reminders. You can open the Alexa app on your phone and manage all the active alarms, timers, and reminders. To manage you alarms: Open the Alexa app. Tap ☰. Tap Reminders & Alarms. Tap on Reminders, Alarms, or Timers. Tap the switch for an alarm to toggle it off. Select a timer and tap Cancel. Select a reminder and tap Mark As Completed. You can also use the Alexa mobile app to turn off alarms and reminders remotely.
