"Alexa, turn off the fridge," and then it's quiet until the target temperature plus x is exceeded

Allowing the temperature difference between the setpoint and the actual value to increase first makes subsequent adjustments more energy-intensive.

By the way, I'm surprised how few people rename their Alexas and Siris. I actually expected many people to give these devices, which respond to commands, the names of their supervisors.

It’s not about saving energy but about peace and quiet.

@Bookstar: Due to your profession, you are still writing nonsense!!! Inform yourself about the facts..

Explain what exactly is nonsense about it? Then we can have a factual discussion. Everything you say is recorded and analyzed on American servers. We do not want that.

No, it isn’t! Just look up the facts yourself, or can’t you?

If you look into the technology behind Alexa, you’ll understand that you’re simply talking nonsense.

Sorry Steffen, but @Bookstar is right.
In the US, law enforcement is now able to obtain court orders that allow the police to access recorded data from Amazon. This does not only concern data triggered by the "Alexa" wake word, but also recordings made discreetly, without the owner’s knowledge, directly from the device (Alexa) or Amazon’s servers. Police hope to analyze voice or sound recordings along with their timestamps to clarify certain cases.
Therefore, it should be viewed as an uncontrolled recording device that captures what happens in your home. Not always, but perhaps increasingly often?

I do not appreciate your way of arguing, Steffen. Disrespectful babbling, so the discussion is over. Enjoy your misconception! Good luck.
