I moved my Echo into another room far away from a TV because it would be falsely triggered when someone said ‘Alexa’. In fact, sometimes it would wake and start telling me news or start playing a random song. Luckily something wasn’t purchased, too.

It’s also worth mentioning that a Reddit user posted that their Echo Dot got a fourth option, “Computer” after a recent firmware update. If you’re a Star Trek fan you’ll appreciate that one. Keep in mind it will take a few minutes to update Alexa on your device and during that time you won’t be able to use it.
