Talk to “Alexa” . Use the wake up command to wake Alexa and she’ll start listening for your next command.

The default wake-up command is “Alexa,” but if you changed it to “Echo,” “Amazon,” or some other command, use the wake-up command set earlier.

Ask Alexa to stop. Say “Alexa, stop,” (Alexa, stop,) to stop any alarms or timers that are playing. Instead of “stop”, you can also say something like this: (Since Alexa doesn’t support Vietnamese language yet, refer to some English commands below)

Cancel
Silence
Halt
End
Hush
Cease
Abort
Knock it off
Lay off
Discontinue
Note that “Quiet” will not work, but only reduce the volume level.

Ask Alexa to turn off the alarm. Say “Alexa, stop alarm” to stop the alarm before it rings. If you set multiple alarms, Alexa will list them in chronological order and you can choose which one you want to stop.

This mechanism works similarly with the timer feature. You can stop a specific appointment time you have named by stating its name. Example: “Alexa, stop kitchen timer.” (Alexa, stop the kitchen timer)

Press the wake up button. This is the button on the top of the device with the little dot there. This button is also used to “summon” Alexa. Pressing the wake button will also stop the alarm or timer.

If the room has a lot of noise, or if Alexa doesn’t recognize your voice for some reason, this is the fastest alternative.
