However, it had about 20 recordings from his device. I think words that are similar enough will trigger it, or possibly if it hears the trigger word on a TV commercial or something. At any rate, it was a significant number of recordings that were totally unrelated to trying to use Alexa.
Heh, I've noticed that too. Once in a blue moon, an Echo commercial will come on and wake ours up. Or someone will say something close enough to "Alexa" that it thinks it has been spoken to. Interesting thing to have around...
