Amazon Echo Dot 3rd Generation In-depth Review

[@andyjame6835]

like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, kzbin.infoUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-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....

regarding music from the 3rd gen dot . i have tried 3 dots so far . the only music that i was able to play was from streaming radio like iheartradio ,acuuradio and xm radio . pandora and free amazom music would only play 2 songs then say "can not play music". if you google "echo dot can only play one song then turns off" you will see 100's of post regarding this problem . i have 1 echo 1st gen and 2 echo 2nd gens and all work great . if you have a fix let me know . the dot i have now goes back to the store in just a few days . just an fyi. i have went through all the settings and nothing works to keep amazon and pandora playing past 1 to 2 songs . thanks .

It can look up information that you ask it. Not using Google to do so. Yes, I use this to listen to radio stations as long as they have a internet station.

[@kirielbranson4843]

Most books are released by audible and are audiobooks now. Older, non-“the classics” books might be harder to find. Self published, textbooks, and non-fiction that is 5-10 years old is harder to find. 20 years ago when I started listening to books the pickings were scarce. Now there are so many and almost every new book is released in audio. If you are looking for non-audio books, to have Alexa read the printed word, I did hear someone saying yes but you would have to wait for someone else or search more.

With most smart bulbs there will be a skill that you need to add your Alexa.

It would be a similar setup for a smart plug.

Not really, when plug it in it runs through a set up for the voice assistant. The only way to use it as a speaker would be to turn off your wifi but then the echo would just go red and tell you it lost connection. There are cheaper better options out there if you are just looking for a speaker.
