[@StarshipAlves]

I bought this one to replace the Echo show 8. Just so I could see the weather time and date all the time. The show 8 was so annoying displaying ads for amazon shopping and other nonsense. This one is perfect as a bed-side clock, just pair it with your phone and you can say "computer, pair with my phone" and then resume whatever podcast or audio book you were listening to while on the go.

[@alone_with_chips5309]

you can change whats showing on the homescreen, i just set it to the clock, weather and news.

[@e3vL1]

Glad there are no ads. Wish echo show was the same w/o ads. All i want it to display is the time and weather

[@garycooper4910]

Amazon is most likely waiting to get enough of them sold to prevent all the negative comments. And then I'm sure they will bombard their customers with ads, as they have done with everything in the past.

[@kevanmcnay3079]

Set language to Canadian English ….Canada has banned unwanted ads

Up now, this is the most complete explanation on the new echo spot on KZbin, everything’s well described and including examples. Congratulation!! 😊

[@TechWithBrett]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@dougconley]

I'd probably get this if I didn't already have 5 Echo's in my house. 😬

[@GoblinOnAStick]

You can never have too many echo's. 😂

[@coolkidd723]

I'm about to give one away, just checking if the update is worth it. I feel your pain 😅

[@TheTalkoOne]

haha

[@RealBossLOL]

I really like the Echo Spot because it has a screen and no ads, unlike the other Echos with Screens

[@pushsomepixels]

This review was so helpful! I just bought the Echo Spot to use it as an alarm clock in the bedroom and the features you presented here are more than enough for such purpose.

[@TampaTec]

No cam is a bonus, good review 👍

[@TechWithBrett]

Definitely, it makes it great for the nightstand.

[@UrLocalSusMasterBTCP]

I guess you can call it the Echo Spot "2nd gen"

[@TechWithBrett]

Pretty much. They aren't labeling it like that because it has a new design, but that is basically true.

[@cargamingandreacting]

this came out on my BIRTHDAY

[@gilpoulsen]

Hey, enjoyed the video and I picked up a few hints for things I had no idea this could do. Unfortunately I had to send mine back already, because (IMHO) the best feature of the original Spot by far was its ability to cycle visually through weather alerts/daily forecasts/daily insights/news reports from various sources, along with popular recipes, wha't's streaming on Aiexa, etc. etc. and you can just tap to learn more. The new Spot, well, it just sits there showing the time and a weather icon. It would be interesting to do a video comparing the original Spot vs. this one side by side to show what's been left out of the new one. My guess is Amazon wants you to buy this for your nightstand AND a Show of some kind to replace the original Spot ;-(

[@TheNotMeTube]

I turned all of those things off on my first spot so it only displays the clock. Sounds like I’m going to like this one.

[@melissacarter6706]

Thank you for making us video them come out with a lot of things, but I wouldn’t have known about it if you didn’t put it out

[@U2haveanicedayty2]

Brett When you have a Video out I know the Drill.When ready need to come back to refresh.Thank You for sharing.💯✌️

[@tonyeaster4544]

Had mine a few days,I like it👍

[@ickleone33]

Probably, the best review, regarding this product. Super, simple, straightforward. What's not to like. Thanks....🙂

[@AlexaRealRoblox]

Echo Spot released in July 10th 2024

[@bryanjames2229]

Are you still able to use SiriusXM as your wake up audio? Can you turn the display completely off at night?

[@dougconley]

@bryanjames2229 It has a night mode setting but I think you'd have to manually turn the brightness all the way down for no display

[@81darron]

I get mine tomorrow just ordered it

[@StevenSwain-xu9co]

Great video. Thank you. Can you set it up as a radio alarm clock? I.e so it wakes you up to a preferred radio station? In my case that would be BBC radio 4 in the U.K. Thanks

[@jaypier984]

Is the weather the forecast for the day? Or the current weather?

[@Nand555]

Thanks for this video, Brett. Am gonna order mine in the next 5 mins. Totally sold on it 😊

[@JasonDunlop247]

Brilliant demonstration. Thank you ☘️

[@TechWithBrett]

Thank you!

[@davidmmuench]

Nice detailed review! Although I wonder if the Echo Show 5 would be a better choice for only $10 more. 🤔

[@selenawolf2466]

Grabbed one during prime day. Just wish it came in more colors 😂 would be cool to be able to pick orange to match my digital pick.

[@SlideRSB]

How do you set an alarm that repeats on specific days of the week? For example, I want an alarm that repeats Monday to Thursday.

[@Catloverplayer]

I like the ocean blue color.

[@jamiefergusson4083]

Is it possible to turn the screen off? When I ask Alexa to turn off the screen she says she can't at the moment and to try again later?

[@MarkMphonoman]

I love this new Alexa device.

[@lauren.j610]

Do u have to have Amazon music to listen to music

[@poppa_da_corn]

What if your phone isn't nearby. Can the Spot keep playing music/radio/answering questions, etc? Or does it require a direct connection to a device such as a tablet or cellphone?

[@TechWithBrett]

It is directly connected to the Internet so can be fully used without the phone nearby as long as you have previously set it up. I was Bluetoothing my phone for music but but that is the only time my phone would need to be nearby.

[@poppa_da_corn]

@@TechWithBrett Thanks for the quick reply. New follower 👍

[@dystoniaify]

I just got the dot 5th gen..I'm dissappeared. The motion sensor routines don't work, echo only hears the wake word part of the time,and they discontinued the clock. I wish I had gotten this one, but now át 79, no way.

[@bowlingmaster1111_main]

that is the coolest amazon echo device i have ever seen

[@pauld6556]

My last Echo Spot screen started flickering after two years. A well documented issue which had Amazon completely ignore. I wonder if this 2nd generation will experience the same.

[@torquin1720]

can you add custom alarms like you downloaded.

[@alanr9496]

You can remove an item from the shopping list by saying 'tick off bananas'

[@hamburglar83]

Does it have battery backup and work without signal as an alarm clock is the only reason I’ll buy one of those things.

[@philthompson3140]

Is there a way or command to play music BUT keep the clock display? Basically background music with out the song name and animation? Also to end music I say 'turn off' but it seems to only silence it. I have to say 'HOME' to go back to the startup screen?

[@dougconley]

@@philthompson3140 I was wondering the same. I can't find anything in the settings 🤷‍♂️

[@dougconley]

@philthompson3140 I just figured it out. Tell your device, "Alexa, home screen" and it will display your clock, weather, etc while music is playing. 👍

[@westfield90]

Can I use this to replace my old echo show which I only use to display the time. Will it announce when I get an Amazon deliver, thank my driver and play my music?

[@KirstenMathers]

i just bought one as a bedside clock ... but i'm in AU and we get bugger all settings via the app to change things on these devices....

[@MarkMphonoman]

With AI Amazon should start giving us a visual virtual assistant with their devices, like in most SF movies.

[@Daylynmauck]

I already have an echo dot fourth GEN but I like this device

[@owenlerry6339]

Just wondering with the Bluetooth function can you pair Bluetooth headphones to play music through the headphones & not the speaker on the spot ?

[@TechWithBrett]

Yes, that can be done in the Alexa app.

[@BackgroundStudios-r14z]

Hey there Tech with Brett, just got a quick question. If for whatever reason. You need to reboot your Google home hub and it finished rebooting, why does it loose wifi connection fir a few seconds?

[@TechWithBrett]

If this keeps happening you can try to give the device a Factory Reset. Then you set it up like it is brand new. If after that it continues to have that issue try rebooting your router. If you still have issues after that I would contact Google if it is still under warranty. If not, it might be time to upgrade to a new Home Hub.

[@BackgroundStudios-r14z]

@@TechWithBrett ok, it's nothing major. It only happens once. And I hardly reboot it. I only did it yesterday as I needed to charge a few devices and I don't have alot of power points. My google works perfectly fine

[@MarkMphonoman]

Excellent tutorial. Thanks.

[@PegassiLampadati]

Are there any google assistant smart clocks these days? The lenovo ones seem to be discontinued and oos everywhere...

[@TechWithBrett]

I believe Google has stopped providing software to 3rd parties so the best option is to get the Google Nest Hub.

[@akashbhattacharjee_iift7775]

This has not been launched in India. Is it a good idea to import? Will the features work online?

[@jonniesantos]

How would you use 2 in the same room (1 on each nightstand) for 2 users?

[@TechWithBrett]

Yes you can do that. The wrong one just may hear you sometimes.

[@mrgoat3084]

I swear I can see a camera on mine on the top left ?? There’s like a little faint circle there

[@chadarthur4346]

i dont think it could pair to a firestick theater option. like my other dots.

[@luther-io7rx]

My Echo Show 5 is screen is smashed broken so I could replace it with this

[@intensityflightsimulation52]

Do you think it’s worth trading? I currently have the echo dot fairly similar without the animated screen.

[@thecondocrew2718]

Always look forwards to watching ur videos!!🤗

[@resolve7145]

Idk if it's just me but on the 2nd clock face top right it dsnt show the temp or date for me. Just the time. Idk how to fix this

[@UP75_ETAWAH]

Where is tyre-c port. Amazon forgot to upgrade as per 2024 tech

[@Flash_Fox_Cheetah]

Kinda looks like the echo pop

[@WhereMyCountryLies]

the app should have the same settings as directly on the device.

[@jaked.2767]

Does it separate alarm volume from music volume?

[@donniechance4682]

I have an alexa with clock that dims when light are off, will this one do same thing if you are using as alarm clock in bed room?

[@TechWithBrett]

Yes it does and goes to a very dim red at night.

[@whelen4004shorts]

it looks like a echo pop but with a screen

[@StarshipAlves]

Great video. Well done.

[@aks7828]

Does it show lyrics while playing on spotify or prime music ? I have read in a forum that it does but disappears in few seconds came back to clock screen ...is it true ? Thanks!

[@TechWithBrett]

It does not show lyrics. It only shows the song artist and title on screen.

[@abbyvasques3571]

Can I use audio to drop in on this to wake up my kids?

[@TechWithBrett]

Yep! That is a great idea.

[@Vampire7979]

Thank you for your video...quick question, have you shined a flash light at the screen? I have and seen a camara spot near top left so now im thinking there might be a camara in there..please can you try this and see if you notice it?

[@ghostonline2411]

It's probably a sensor

[@TechWithBrett]

There is no camera on the Echo Spot, it is an ambient light sensor. This makes it so it can automatically adjust the brightness based on the light in the room.

[@Vampire7979]

Thanks for letting me know 😊

[@arjunshiralkar4668]

They should put chatgpt into that device, imagine how powerful it would be

[@vampyger]

Can I connect my echo dot 5 with this echo spot in 2.0 stereo mode to be able to listen in cinema mode with the fire tv?

[@TechWithBrett]

You are only able to put 2 of the exact some speaker into a stereo pair for home theater. You can however put them both in a speaker group to listen to synced music.

[@vampyger]

@@TechWithBrett thanks! so i will buy another echo dot tomorrow but without clock and put them in stereo in my bed 🙌🏻 thankss

[@Animagus0dragon]

Is this model Matter? Can I connect it to my Apple HomeKit app?

[@TechWithBrett]

It works with Matter devices but doesn't have a hub built in. It can not be connected to Apple HomeKit.

[@SniperM711]

Is there any little echo device like this that I can view my cameras?

[@TechWithBrett]

The Echo Show 5 or Echo Hub are best for this.

[@mathewcooper7402]

Pity it didn't support a full colour screen with live weather animations. Similar to something you can do on a smartwatch. Still a nice product though.

[@sallybrookner4158]

Don’t see that this does anything my echo sphere doesn’t do, except there’s that tiny screen with a limited number of displays.

[@ldlink3935]

nice video thanks, watched at 2x

[@Milyramos]

It looks like the echo pop

[@Catloverplayer]

One thing I don't like about this echo is you only get weather with two clockfaces and I don't get weather with the purple color clockface.

[@DisforDamion87]

Hopefully there will be a software update that will add it

[@wilty5]

Can I connect this to my iPhone with Bluetooth or do I need to use Home Assistant?

[@TechWithBrett]

You can directly connect the iPhone to the Echo Spot over Bluetooth.

[@wilty5]

Thanks

[@rodrigofernety]

looking good!

[@freen3x3r]

Is it necessary to be conntected per bluetooth ? I want him to play radio only with WIFI is it possible ?

It can connect to a device over Bluetooth to play radio from a phone or to a speaker. Yes it can play radio stations from iHeart Radio.

[@hpiccov]

How to delete crescent on screen? Is boring.

[@bradtate158]

Can you use this as a intercom?

[@TechWithBrett]

Yes you can with other Echo speakers. You can Drop In directly to the other speaker and start speaking to whoever is in the room. You can also Announce a message, and it will send that message to all the other Echo speakers in the home.

[@mizterbloomie]

nice

[@Lucas-fd7kn]

I will get it if my echo dot breaks. Also, im upset because my fire stick fried

You can’t seem to make this wake up to music only the sounds which is kind of annoying. I much rather have music. Play then an alarm ringing.
