Wow this is the cleanest flush mount for echo dot I have ever seen - thanks for posting this video. It is awesome!

[@innovativitga4705]

Great video, your echo dot install looks great

[@dffcell1832]

Excellent video. You explained everything perfectly from beginning to end. Thanks for sharing

[@ajnur6574]

Great job on this installation. Looks very nice INSIDE the wall!

[@ezbandscustomwristbands2380]

Bro that is a very nice installation - I am going to try to do the same. Thanks for video

[@hajichaya3018]

I am going to follow you and mount my echo dot on the wall. Thanks for the video

[@nuracanari1139]

Thanks for this very informative step by step installation guide

[@scienceofarms]

Nice installation, so very clean, love it!

[@DIYGEEKTEXAS]

Yes thanks I bought a few more of these wall mount kits for my other echo dots!

Thanks for this video .. I just did the same thing in my house except I pull power from a light switch to create my outlet.

[@dmdarius1]

Hi David. How did you pull power from a light switch. I have an old intercom system I want to replace with the Echo Dot trying to figure out a way to power behind the wall. I also have the mount genie.

[@braylark03]

@@dmdarius1 Hi, I just followed the instructions I saw on another video about "installing an outlet from a light switch". Pretty just taking the main power and ground going to the light and splice them so you can power both the switch and new outlet.

Great tutorial, one question though, what do you do if you need to power cycle your echo? I was thinking about doing this but I wonder if wiring the outlet to a switch might be useful.

[@DIYGEEKTEXAS]

@TheSupernaturalguy Great question, if I need to power cycle the echo, unfortunately I have to turn of the break for that entire circuit. :-( yes that is the downside - but I do not want to add a switch (ugly) just for reset

[@davidbraylark3145]

Looks like you added a piece of wood for the outlet to rest on... how difficult was that? Also how hard was it to hammer the nails inside the hole?

[@DIYGEEKTEXAS]

@David Braylark Actually I did not, I got extremely lucky to have just cut the circle right above that piece of wood. However you do not need any support, the echo only weighs about 1 pound and the mount kit hugs the drywall good enough probably to support 10-15 pounds easily.

Y does everyone always skip running the cable

[@Matty_ice429]

The final install looks super clean but you have two issues; buried junction box and a low voltage cord inside a wall. Both of those are big fire hazards unfortunately.

[@crosisofborg5524]

This is a great tutorial of what not to do. It’s illegal and unsafe.

[@starwaves9917]

Problem is is this to code? What if the power adapter for whatever reason catches on fire and you never know because it’s inside the wall.

[@DIYGEEKTEXAS]

I am not sure this is to code. This is an interior wall. No insulation. I think it is safe.

[@pat7473]

This is absolutely not to code in any state. It's considered a fire hazard for several reasons. That cord is not in wall rated. Also the junction box is considered buried. Although the unit's cord is low voltage, it is a fire hazard when run behind a wall regardless of whether there is insulation or not. Looks good though👍.

[@sherric3352]

Is what kind of smart switch is that?

[@DIYGEEKTEXAS]

It is not a smart switch, it is an amazon echo dot mounted on the wall

[@jakubgolab8671]

Please DO NOT put a 11v outlet in the wall that is a code violation

[@andreasgrammatikopoulos5095]

the electrical box MUST be accessible you CANNON HIDE IT

[@A_Class216]

Ok I thought so. I was definitely about to check Google. POE probably would be a much better option
