Anyone else noticed that Alexa on the Sonos One responds to Blake’s 7 as well as Alexa? Very cool.....

,,, but rather adolescent. Wouldn't 'Sonos' have been more appropriate ?

Blakes 7 has basically very similar phenomes as Alexa, so it's Amazon's error.

I've not tried it yet, and my wake word is Echo. When I get home tonight, I'll switch it back to Alexa, and test for you 🙂

'Blakes 7' on Dot - silence ....

Just what did the beta testers actually test over all those months?

Yea, it is, apparently. I had to look it up. Wonder if it's also reacting to a British accent when saying the word. My poor ability to do anything other than my standard middle American English will probably make it difficult for me to reproduce at home.
