You can adjust the brightness on your Echo Dot clock with voice commands or through the Alexa app on your phone. When using a voice command, you can set the brightness using a numerical value or turn the display off entirely. You can adjust the brightness with a slider; there’s also an adaptive brightness setting in the app. Here are some voice commands you can use to adjust the brightness of the clock on your Echo Dot:
“Set brightness to one.““Change brightness to minimum.““Set brightness to ten.““Change the brightness to maximum.”
Here’s how to change the clock brightness on Echo Dot using the Alexa app:
How Do I Dim My Alexa Clock?
If you want to dim your Echo Dot clock display quickly, you can use the Alexa voice command “Alexa, change brightness to minimum.” The clock display will immediately dim to its lowest possible brightness level when you use that command. If you want the clock to dim automatically, then you can turn on the Adaptive Brightness feature in your Alexa app. This feature causes the clock on your Echo to dim automatically based on the ambient light in the room. When you turn out the lights for bed, the clock will automatically dim. Then when the sun comes up in the morning, or when you turn on the lights, the brightness will increase. You access the Adaptive Brightness feature through the Alexa app on the same screen you use to manually adjust the clock brightness, as described in the previous section. If you want to activate this feature, toggle on Adaptive Brightness. If you don’t want to use it anymore, switch the toggle off.
How Do I Change the Clock Display on Echo?
The clock display built into some Echo Dots is pretty basic. It’s an LED display that can’t show anything more complicated than a few numbers or letters at a time, but you can switch it between 12- and 24-hour formats. If you want to change the way that the clock display on your Echo shows the time, use one of these commands:
“Change to 24-hour clock format.”“Change to 12-hour clock format.”
