Amazon LUZ-AMARILLA on Echo speaker: pending notification or message
Risk level
Low
Usually safe to check without specialist tools.
Urgency
Low
Quick answer
A slow yellow pulse on your Echo means Alexa has a notification or message waiting, not a fault. Say "What are my notifications?" or "What are my messages?" and the light should go off once you hear them.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Do not reset the Echo for a yellow light: Amazon describes it as a pending notification or message, and a factory reset erases your personal information and smart home connections.

Hear your notifications
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- say "What notifications do I have?".
- Result that matters:
- whether Alexa reads a notification and the light goes off.
- If it reads one and goes off:
- it was a pending alert.
- If it says there are none:
- ask for messages.
- Evidence to keep:
- which notification it was, if it repeats.

What it means
Amazon says a slow yellow burst every few seconds means Alexa has a message or notification, or there is a reminder you missed, and that a flashing yellow light means a notification or a message from an Alexa contact. It is a status signal, not a failure: the speaker works and is waiting for you to hear what is pending. A light that stays on does not prove the Echo is faulty; usually something is still unheard or a notification is enabled in the app.
