In past could set alarm by asking Alexa to set alarm for a time specific. Now she says alarm set...then few seconds later say problem setting same. Help, thanks and Happy New Year.
Is this a good question?

I had the same issue. My Echo Dot was connected to wifi and would interact and tell me the temperature.
Every time I tried to set an alarm it would take the command, and then about 5 seconds later respond and say it had a problem setting the alarm.
After reading this post I decided to try power cycling it. That seems to have worked - it took the command. It also is showing up in my iPad Alexa app.
Problem solved.

There is a problem connecting to the amazon alexa service. You should check if it is connected to wifi, and if so, if the wifi is connected to the internet.

Open the Alexa app. On the side menu, go to reminders and alarms, click the alarm tab and push the button to the on position

I have 8 echo dots covering 3 generations...suddenly today only the first gen dot is able to understand what a timer is. The others reply with..."Hmmm, I'm not sure". Oddly, when I ask them how to set a timer they respond with, "say something like, Set a timer for 5 minutes", but when I do, I still get, "Hmmm, I didn't understand" or" I don't know that one".
