I’ve had a routine set up in Alexa for over a year where if I say “Alexa, feed the dogs” or “Alexa, feed the puppies,” it triggers a script in Home Assistant that runs my Aqara pet feeders. It’s worked without any issues until just recently.

Over the past week, Alexa has started responding with, “The dog is hungry, are you going to feed the dog now?” instead of running the routine. It’s happened several times and feels like something has changed.

Is Amazon making Alexa worse on purpose right before they roll out Alexa AI? Anyone else noticing routines not working like they used to?
