my dot now has an India accent, which is far more amusing that it should be.
Fabulous, how do I do this?Go in to languages and you have several options.
Works on dot but seems not to on my echo
The Australian and Canadian ones are a bit unnatural sounding.

Do you need a US account to do that? Can't see the option to wake up to radio stations?
I don't think you can setup a new radio alarm in the app, you have to do it by voice, say: "wake me up to..." You can choose a radio station, an album, or a particular song. I changed the wife's alarm to Dying Fetus's Wrong One to fk With when she was out of the room, was most amusing at 5:50am.

Has anybody found a way to have a repeating alarm to radio?
If I say "wake me up at 6am to radio 2" it tells me it's set an alarm for 6am to radio 2.
But if I say "set a weekday alarm for 6am to radio 2" it just says it's set an alarm for each weekday. It seems to ignore the radio part!

Once the alarm has been created via voice command you can then edit when it is repeated in the app. Should be settings, routines & alarms (on the left hand menu in settings), then alarms.If I say "wake me up at 6am to radio 2" it tells me it's set an alarm for 6am to radio 2.

My mother has just bought two packs of LightwaveRF plug-ins (6 in total). She used to have those mechanical timer plug-ins bought for £1 from B&Q's bargain bucket to make the house look occupied when she was out but the tiny motors that power the rotary dials burn out after a while, and I thought they represented a fire risk. Anyway, having set up the timers for them in the LightwaveRF app, I then set up a few Alexa routines for her so she can call for individual lights or sequences of them, and the timers are all internet-referenced times based on "dusk" so they shift a little each day.
She's 71 and amazes her friends with voice control over her dominion, especially as they all click off one at a time when she says "Alexa, Goodnight".

I also have half some Lightwaverf plug-ins, but they randomly go unresponsive, even though all of the lugs are in the lounge and the Lightwave hub is in the kitchen. If I stand by the kitchen door, I can see all four plugs and the hub, so distance shouldn’t be an issue.I’m wondering if the Lightwave hub is too close to the router (although the hub only came with an 18” cat5 cable)

My hub was originally in another room constructed with concrete blocks, and I had a problem with a plug-in and a double LWRF socket being intermittently unresponsive. I was never sure if the problem was to do with the concrete block walls or the hub's proximity to the router.I’m wondering if the Lightwave hub is too close to the router (although the hub only came with an 18” cat5 cable)
To move the hub away from the router, to a room only constructed with partitioning/plasterboard, I had to use mains networking to connect the two but I have moved it and it is working fine now.
As yours is in line of sight, it doesn't sound like you have a weak signal issue but maybe the proximity to the router is a problem. I honestly doubt this because they're intended to work this way but maybe you should clear the memory of the plug-in and re-pair... might work.
