If the power goes out in the middle of the night, will the alarm still work without WiFi (i.e. will the battery kick in?) null

Hi Matt,

Thank you very much for purchasing our Insignia Voice Smart Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Google Assistant built in. To address your inquiries about the alarm I want you to know that this unit has battery that will keep the speaker for 5 hours so if there is power loss or Wifi loss will still allow the alarm to trigger.

If the Wi-Fi in the environment is poor alarm synchronization between device and cloud may take up to 1 min but typically the server syncs the alarm in the first couple of seconds. Enjoy your new speaker!

I, too, cannot get the alarm to work if there is a power outage. This is a problem since this unit is what I use for an alarm clock.

I have not been able to get the alarm to work when on battery but it works fine when plugged into the wall socket.
