We discovered there is an iCloud and all contacts.

Jackie was saying about a connection issue during the week with Alexa and her Eufy Robotic Vacuum cleaner. When she asked Alexa to start cleaning.Alexa would say "an internal error has occurred contact Eufy customer support" The hoover could be controlled with the app and google devices. This issue did correct itself yesterday. Jackie also said her male voices echo products won't send James out but the devices for the females voices works.   Paul asked Alexa to switch on his main light. Alexa  asked him would he like to switch the light off after 10 minutes.  Paul said yes and the lights didn't go off after the required time.  Paul repeated the step to no success.    Adrian reminded us all that Gmail  is ending basic HTML this weekend. people will be using the standard view but the shortcuts will work on this version as well.   Adrian has sent an email to the List with complete shortcuts.
