@jonah yesI agree with you, having to speak in a deliberate certain way sometimes can be annoying. Alexas way of allowing you to install apps makes alexa more flexible powerful and convenient. If your sitting on the throne and smell something foul you can summon alexa to turn on the vent because your phone is out of reach. I prefer using one wake word over two like with google, ok google, and siri’s hey siri.
I have hey siri turned off on all devices except the home pod
