Option 1: Set a Reminder by Voice What Happens When the Reminder Goes Off? Need Help Setting a Reminder?

Reminders are a simple way for Members to receive timely prompts throughout the day — such as taking medication, joining an activity, or making a phone call.

There are two ways reminders can be set:

By voice (self-service)

By contacting our team for assistance. We use the Reminders API by Alexa Smart Properties. 

 

Option 1: Set a Reminder by Voice

To set a reminder, simply say:

“Alexa, remind me to [your task].”

For example:

“Alexa, remind me to take my medication at 8 AM.”

“Alexa, remind me to call my daughter tomorrow at 3 PM.”

Alexa will guide you through the setup process, including confirming:

The reminder message

The date

The time

At the end of the setup, you may also see a confirmation screen on the device showing the reminder details and available settings.

Once confirmed, Alexa will save the reminder automatically.


What Happens When the Reminder Goes Off?

When it’s time for the reminder:

  • Alexa will announce the reminder out loud.
  • A reminder message will appear on the screen.
  • A few seconds later, Alexa will repeat the reminder to ensure it was heard.
  • The reminder will continue until one of the following happens:

The Member says:

“Alexa, stop.”

Or interacts with the screen to dismiss it.

If the Member needs more time, they can say:

“Alexa, remind me again in 30 minutes.”
(or any preferred time)

Alexa will then create a follow-up reminder.


Need Help Setting a Reminder?

If you would like us to set up reminders on your behalf, we’re happy to help.

Simply email our support team with:

  • The member ID (if multiple devices: which alexa device)
  • The reminder message (what you want Alexa to say)
  • The date and time
  • Whether it should repeat (daily, weekly, etc.)

Our team will configure the reminder in the system for you.

This is especially helpful for:

  • Recurring medication reminders
  • Setting Routines
  • Scheduled wellness prompts

If you ever need assistance updating or removing a reminder, please contact us at supoort@zemplee.com or at and we’ll take care of it.
