Battery Message
My Orbi Voice has begun annoucing "battery low". But as far as I know there is no battery. I do not beleive my Orbi RBR50 router and satellite have batteries either. Any ideas on why my Orbi voice would issue such a warning?
Correct. No batteries in Orbi's.
We started hearing "Low Battery... Low Battery" and took a while to realize it was a cordless phone.
I only use one Alexa skill on my Orbi Voice ("play...") Could it be Alexa announcing that some device in the house has a low battery?

That's exactly what it was. There is also a Panasonic cordless sitting on the credenza with the ringer and annoucemnts turned off. Never hear anything from that phone unless we use it. I realized the annoucement was occurring at the top of every hour so I laid in wait. We also have Nest fire/smoke/CO2 alarms and thought maybe they were pushing out the warning. Ding, it was the phone! Thank you for the reply CrimpOn!
