Alexa will illuminate the ring around the speaker when it is interacting with usWe will even see an area of ​​the ring change to a lighter blue the part where our voice reaches Alexa. What if, whenever we want we can mute all the microphones (the 4 it has) pressing the mute button, anyway, Alexa will not hear anything if we do not say the magic word: Alexa. When we have the microphones muted we will see the Alexa ring in red as a warning of the mute.
