What is Amazon Echo Dot?

Amazon Echo Dot is a hands-free, voice-controlled device with a small built-in speaker—it can also connect to your speakers or headphones over Bluetooth or through a 3.5 mm audio cable to deliver stereo sound to the speakers you choose. Echo Dot connects to the Alexa Voice Service to play music, provide information, news, sports scores, weather and more. Prime members can also ask Alexa to order eligible products they've ordered before and many Prime products. All you have to do is ask.

Echo Dot can hear you from across the room—even in noisy environments or while playing music. When you want to use Echo Dot, just say the wake word “Alexa” and Echo Dot responds. If you have more than one Echo or Echo Dot, Alexa responds intelligently from the device you're closest to with ESP (Echo Spatial Perception). Learn more about ESP

Alexa, what's the weather in London?
Made for Any Room

Sleek and compact design makes Amazon Echo Dot a convenient addition to any room in the house. With its built-in speaker, you can place Echo Dot in the bedroom and use it as a smart alarm clock that can also turn off your lights. Or use Echo Dot in the kitchen to easily set timers and more using just your voice.

Echo Dot can also directly connect to speakers using a 3.5 mm stereo cable or using Bluetooth to add voice control to your home stereo system in the living room. Learn more about Bluetooth speakers and devices that work well with Echo Dot.

Alexa, what’s on my to-do list?
Voice-Control Your Music

Amazon Echo Dot provides hands-free voice control for Amazon Music—just ask for your favourite artist or song, or request a specific genre or mood. You can also search for music by lyrics, when a song or album was released, or let Alexa pick the music for you. Listen to 40 million songs with Amazon Music Unlimited. Learn More

Echo Dot also provides hands-free voice control to Spotify and TuneIn.

Alexa, play Bruno Mars.
Control Your Smart Home

Use Amazon Echo Dot to switch on the lamp before getting out of bed, turn up the thermostat while reading in your favourite chair, or dim the lights from the couch to watch a film—all without lifting a finger… or even raising your voice.

Echo Dot works with smart home devices such as lights, switches, thermostats and more from WeMo, Samsung SmartThings, Philips Hue, Hive, Netatmo, Tado°, Tp-link, Nest and others. Learn more about compatible smart home connected devices, including starter kits for easy setup.

Echo Dot now supports IFTTT (If This, Then That), a third-party service that allows you to create rules (or “applets”) that automate how your devices, apps and websites work with each other.

WeMo |  Philips Hue | Nest | Hive | Netatmo | Tado
Far-Field Voice Recognition

Tucked under the light ring is an array of seven microphones that use beam-forming technology and enhanced noise cancellation. With far-field voice recognition, Amazon Echo Dot can hear you ask a question from any direction—even in noisy environments or while playing music.

When you want to use Echo Dot, simply say the wake word, “Alexa”, and Echo Dot lights up and streams audio to the cloud, where the Alexa Voice Service is leveraged to recognise and respond to your request. Learn more about voice recognition on Echo Dot.

Always Getting Smarter

Alexa—the brain behind Amazon Echo Dot—updates through the cloud automatically and is continually learning, adding new functionality and skills. The more you use Echo Dot, the more it adapts to your speech patterns, vocabulary and personal preferences.

Just in the last few months we’ve added Amazon order tracking, IFTTT, local search from Yelp, movie showtimes, Google and Outlook.com calendar support, Audible audiobooks, text-to-speech for Kindle eBooks and thousands of new skills from third-party developers.

Alexa, what’s in the news?
Echo Dot has Skills

Skills add even more capabilities such as ordering take away from Just Eat, requesting a ride from Uber, checking train times from National Rail and more. Enabling skills lets your Amazon Echo Dot do even more—simply discover and enable the skills you want to use in the Alexa App.

New skills are being added all the time. You can also see ratings and reviews to learn what other customers are saying about skills in the Alexa App. Discover and enable skills.

Alexa, open Just Eat and ask for my last order.
Do More With the Alexa App

With the free Alexa App on Fire OS, Android, iOS and desktop browsers, you can easily set up and manage your Amazon Echo Dot.

Use the Alexa App to connect services you already use such as Amazon Music, Spotify and Google Calendar. Set up your smart home devices from WeMo, Philips Hue, Hive, Netatmo, tado° and more. See which books are available to listen to from your Audible library. View shopping and to-do lists while on the go. Control your timers and set custom tones for your alarms, and much more. The Alexa App is also where you discover and enable third-party skills.

I love Alexa. She doesn't always understand my East London accent but then no one else does either. This is really fun and useful! I love discovering new technology and this is a definite one if like me you are a bit of a nerd. Buy it, £5 off at the moment!

Plus
It's very interesting and promising product. Not a product but a way for a new universe. Really. Of course its basic skills are just basis. But if you spend some efforts (not a big ones) you can get a lot. To book a taxi or setup a meeting in your schedule. Just by voice. You need some training and passion as well. But you can extract a lot in the future. And their skills are developing. My next step - to automate light.
Minus
First. Need some efforts in the beginning to install, link with accounts etc. Mobile app interface is not very high standard with intuitive understanding.
Second. Sound for your Echo is not great. Don't expect a lot. I've connected with my external sound system. But there is one problem. After some time sound system moves to standby mode and it takes some time to wake it up. There need some improvement between Echo and external sound system.

Overall
Very promising and interesting ecosystem which can simplify and improve your life. But need some efforts (as usual) in the beginning. I would recommend to buy and start to build this ecosystem right now.

Arrived super quick. Very excited to open it and set it up but i just couldn't get it to connect to my Wi-Fi, my daughter eventually did it and weve have loads of fun with it since. I'm not sure if I'm going to use it all the time but the kids love it

Doesn't always search for requested. Sound reasonable. Useful as a internet radio & alarm clock. Takes up little space. Not good though if sites near TV and Alexa advert playing!

Excellent. Have six throughout the house. Works great with Hive. Can turn on lights before going upstairs or in the dark mornings before going downstairs. Can lay relaxing in the bath and just ask to turn on music. Learn interesting facts or just get a weather update. This can only get better.

Wish I hadn't bothered.I mistakenly didn't read the fact that if you have any subscription with the Alexa then you also have to pay separately for the dot.I thought it was just an extension of the Alexa...its not.so basically its an expensive radio. I called customer service about a couple of queries and they didn't know the answers either.Not impressed.
