    We've had Alexa in our house for about a month now and I have to say it is surprisingly good. I was a bit skeptical to start with but the more you use it the better it becomes. Highly recommended

      ​@@vampxrialiveI'm here at 47 , I'm wondering I hate paying my bills . Can I ask , what's in the bank account , pay my car payment , electric , I mean does she remember the passwords ? I never wanted this . But got to thinking . I won't talk to the TV, unless I got to . I bet this would be an upgrade to me .

    like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

    Alexa : "Well cooked is better for chicken."
    Me : "Alexa, i'm gonna EMP you..."
    Alexa : "Play : Nirvana - Stay Away"

    Thanks for the help. But if you set it up with your phone app and you leave the house with phone, will it still play music when you leave. Wanted to play music when I am gone for my dog. He needs calming music when by himself.

    • @Vgp-rp4iu
      @Vgp-rp4iu 5 років тому

      What kind of plug is it? What echo device do you have? Do you have a hub to communicate between your plug and echo? If you have the dot you will need a smarthub because the dot can't communicate with smart devices directly

      I'm not sure what you mean by it's own wifi. It connects to your wireless router just like any other device. As far as connect to your tv it all depends on your setup. I have a Samsung smart TV and with my Samsung smartthings hub I can control my tv through my echo device. You would have to have a smart TV that's compatible, smart hub (smartthings) and an echo device for this to work.

    @lochinvar00465 5 років тому

    Setup was bit bit wonky. Went well until I tried setting up the WIFI. Then it had me select the Amazon WIFI(on the Echo Dot) for the WIFI settings on my tablet. That went ok, but when I went back to the Alexa app it failed to complete. Shut down the app and restarted setup, and this time the tablet automatically connected and everything finally completed. It seems that trying to open settings while in the Alexa app screwed up something but if it connected to the Dot's WIFI from remembering it, it works well.I would much prefer setting up the Dot with voice than using an app(which requires another device to be available) That would make it possible to set it up and use it stand alone.
