I want to connect all of my devices to play music, but only 3 out of the 5 devices I have show. They are all on the same network, I've re-scanned, still won't show up. Here's what I have. Echo Show 10 3rd gen Echo Show 8 3rd gen 2 Echo (4th Gen) | With premium sound Echo Dot latest release. The 2 Amazon Echo (4th Gen) | With premium sound DON'T SHOW UP. Would you happen to know why? Thanks in advance...

I've had this in my Amazon account for the last 2 days contemplating if I should get it or wait for the Echo Show 15 (large one that can wall mount). I tried to google the difference or similarities. You popped up on my page and I watched your video and decided to purchase the Echo Show 8. You explained so much and articulate it so well that I could understand. I appreciate the info. I've subscribed. Do you have a video explaining the difference between the "soon to be released", Echo Show 15? I lost my home recently from a fire that took absolutely everything (including my parrots, dogs and cat. I was in the hospital with Heart Failure and wondered if I had camera set up like you showed, maybe I could have been able to save my macaws. I'm so new to this Smart Home concept and when they rebuild our home, I 'd like to learn all I can do with the Amazon Echo products,. So thank you for these very informative videos. I'm sure, hopefully, I will be able to learn and look forward to watching all of your content. Thanks again!

The only application I see for this, is apparently it works a heck of a lot faster than the slow as molasses Alexa app on your phone... which you have to use to setup... and resetup... devices... (when Alexa loses them). OMG is the Alexa app so painfully slow on the smart phone, it's like it has to load it's GUI interface across the internet for every... single.... screen.

I recently got the new Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen). I also have the 1st gen. On my 1st Gen while connected to my bluetooth earbuds I can tap the earbuds and pause, skip or go back while listening to music on Pandora. I tried this on the new 3rd gen and it's not working. Was this feature removed from the 3rd Gen Echo Show 8 or is there a setting I need to adjust? Update - I just hooked up my old 1st gen Echo Show 8 and even though it's slower my bluetooth devices work properly with it. I can adjust the volume, pause, play, track forward and track back all with my bluetooth devices. This 3rd gen is being returned.

After all, cameras have been released that would later be recalled because they could see through certain clothing people would wear. For example, certain nylons with the quality of being opaque at 380-780 nm. The shutter might be doing it's job or it might not be...🤔

1 problem I noticed with the echo 8 is if you have a profile (or contact) setup that you no longer want. There is no option to delete that profile , it only gives the option to rename. My cousin recently got an echo 8 and she asked me to delete a profile of her mother in law who passed away last year and I tried several times to delete it but I couldn't... Also, if you have more than 1 echo device how do you sync the information that you create so it shows up on your other devices... For example, if I create a reminder or sticky note on my echo 8 in the kitchen and I want to see my reminders on the echo 5 in my bedroom it can't show it to me and acts confused. She literally says she doesn't understand.😄
