If a family member and I both have our own Tiles with the same name (i.e. Keys), how do I make sure Amazon Alexa rings the right Tile?
At this time, only one account can be connected with Amazon Alexa. You can easily share Tiles though so they can show up on your family or friends account.
Do I need an internet connection for Amazon Alexa to work?
Yes, an internet connection is required for Amazon Alexa to talk to your Tiles.
What languages does Alexa support?
Amazon Alexa supports English (United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia), Japanese, and German.
In what countries is Alexa Skills available?
Alexa Skills is available in the United States, Germany, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
How many Tiles can Alexa find? Is there a limit?
There is no limit on the total number of individual Tiles you can have in your Tile account, however, the maximum number of Tiles in a category - like Keys, Wallet or Luggage - is 10.
This means if you have more than 10 Tiles with the category Keys, Alexa will not be able to find your desired Tile. You can fix this by changing the category for one of your Tiles to a different category.
You'll know Alexa is working properly when it lists out your multiple Keys Tiles by name. Respond with "Select [First, Second, etc.]" to select the Tile you'd like to ring.
