Could NOT set the clock on my Gen 5 Echo Dot. Tried updating version, asking Alexa, Nothing it was set on Easter time I live in Pacific time?? I returned it, ordered a new one.
Man why in the world its not USB powered? I bought a 10 foot braided grey USB cable to match the rest of the cables. What am i gonna do with a 4 foot white wire and a huge adapter in the middle of the room? Thats literally a downgrade from my 2nd gen dot... Jesus
Nah I got one and I try the pause function for it and I taped it it doesn’t work at all I also hit it hard and I think I made it worse because the mute function doesn’t work anymore so everyone that thinks “hit it harder” I’ve already tried that
I have an Echo Show 8. I HATE it. Amazon advertises to me all the time. I am downgrading to the Echo Dot to get rid of the screen, which to be honest I don't use very much. I'm tired of seeing advertisements and annoying notifications to rate products I've ordered on Amazon. I'm going to give mom my Echo Show 8. She may like it more than the Show 5 shes has now.
Useful things to ask alexa 1. Alexa whats my notifications? 2. Alexa whats the temperature outside? 3. Alexa tell me a joke 4. Alex play _blank_ song Alexa set a timer for _blank_ mins 5. You can ask Alexa to go into sassy mode. 6. If you have The Ring Camera doorbell and connect it to alexa she will say. Someones protected at your front door. Just for you to know Alexa will not listen all the time and you have to say it 2 times. Theres alot more to ask her so if you get it just ask some stuff. I don't know how to do this but.. Alexa will ask you polls of the day like whats your favorite food.
I use it to control 5 lamps in the room and a celling fan. Also set reminders and alarms, especially when im cooking something and leave the kitchen. You can also create shopping lists and check them from the phone later. What else... :) It glows when you get delivery from Amazon or there are something huge on the news... Its decent.
I don't mean to rain on your parade but I was so impressed with Echo Dot 5 that I had to respond here. The biggest feature is the smart home assistant feature which I feel was not mentioned properly when considering buying this product. It does everything! I am 66 and needed help turning on and off things because I have about twenty remotes and things got messy and confusing. So I turned to Kasa smart plugs for each device and outlet which are excellent and purchased the Echo Dot 5 so that I could to tell the assistant what to turn off and on. I was able to change her wake up name to Echo which was a huge plus. The other alternative was Amazon, and of course Alexa but for me the name Echo was perfect. I have it tell me the weather or if there are any Amazon deliveries scheduled, turn on the news, tell me a joke, play music, sing to me or just about anything you could ask. When I am waking up in bed, I tell Echo to make coffee, turns on the coffee pot for 8 minutes and then shuts it off automatically and say's "Your Coffee is Ready". I also have it remind me to take out the garbage every Saturday at 4pm. I also have it remind me on the fly. For instance I will say remind me in 5 minutes that I have a chore to do and she says it without programming it in. Although It is easy to set up routines in the settings on your Alexa App on your phone. Best fifty dollar investment ever.
@@Starrr2610 The Echo Dot doesn't have an LED display, no. The Echo Show line has the display. But I have an Echo Show 8 and all it does is advertise to me on the screen as it cycles through products and weather notifications. It's annoying. I'm downgrading to the Dot to get rid of the screen from the Echo Show. I hate being excessively advertised to. I bought the thing, why advertise to me?!
We just got the dot. First time we have had one. We've been trying to determine howe to employ it and your video helps! Thank you!
Does echo dot5 support otbr? Does adding thread devices require an additional thread network?
Hit it harder. Your doing the rich person displaying a trophy tap. Hit it

you actually have to push the dot down to be able to pause it.
So everyone knows

Thanks so much for the video!! I was worried This thing wasn't useful for anything.
I think I have that one but we changed the name to ziggie and i am scared of Alexas
Don't know the difference between tap and touch. Pause uses an accelerometer so hit it!

Can I play UA-cam music on this speaker?
On google home mini you can. I think this is only for Spotify I heard somebody say that but I'd still try UA-cam Music.
I have echo dot kids 😊 I Love It 😍😻🥰!
This year it’s a wifi light
You can’t snooze a timer. Also, you snooze an alarm.
Is this thing actually useful for something?
Honestly I don't even know
