Amazon Echo Dot Generation 2 with Alexa Enabled Bluetooth Smart Speaker

Description

AMAZON ECHO DOT 2ND GENERATION ALEXA ENABLED BLUETOOTH SMART SPEAKER

The 2nd generation Amazon Echo Dot smart assistant is the scaled-down version of their larger Echo system. This second generation model launched in 2016 to build upon the success of the original Echo Dot and came with a couple of new features as well as a black color option. When used as a smart speaker, the Echo Dot can link to a smart device using Bluetooth. If you want a bigger sound than this miniature device can offer, you can also link it to external speakers using the same Bluetooth connection or a 3.5 millimeter audio jack. The Echo Dot is a lot more than just a wireless speaker, though. It is also a hub for Amazon’s Alexa smart assistant. When the Echo Dot’s microphone array picks up Alexa’s wake word, she comes online to give you the news or weather updates, turn on a music streaming service, or even tell you a joke. The Echo Dot can also be linked to apps and used as a hub for a wide range of other smart home devices. If the Echo Dot is connected to the right devices, Alexa can adjust your thermostat, turn your lights on and off, and control your home security system.....

WHAT IS AN ECHO DOT

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. Dot connects to the Alexa Voice Service to play music, make calls, send and receive messages, provide information, news, sports scores, weather, and more—instantly. Echo Dot can hear you from across the room, even while music is playing. When you want to use Echo Dot, just say the wake word “Alexa” and Dot responds instantly. If you have more than one Echo or Echo Dot, Alexa responds intelligently from the Echo you're closest to with ESP (Echo Spatial Perception).

MADE FOR ANY ROOM

Sleek and compact design makes Echo Dot a convenient addition to any room in the house. With its built-in speaker, you can place Dot in the bedroom and use it as a smart alarm clock that can also turn off your lights. Or use Dot in the kitchen to easily set timers and shop tens of millions of Amazon products using just your voice. Echo Dot can also directly connect to speakers using a 3.5 mm stereo cable, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi for compatible wireless speakers to add voice control to your home stereo system in the living room or den.

VOICE CONTROL YOUR MUSIC

Echo Dot provides hands-free voice control for Amazon Music—just ask for your favorite 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. Set a music alarm to wake up to your favorite song or playlist. Listen to any song with Amazon Music Unlimited. Echo Dot also provides hands-free voice control to Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, SiriusXM, TuneIn, and iHeartRadio.

VOICE CONTROL YOUR SMART HOME

Use Echo Dot to switch on the lamp before getting out of bed, turn up the thermostat while reading in your favorite chair, or dim the lights from the couch to watch a movie—all without lifting a finger…or even raising your voice. Control multiple devices at scheduled times or with a single voice command, like locking the doors and turning off the lights when you go to bed. Echo Dot works with smart home devices such as lights, switches, TVs, fans, thermostats, and more from Philips Hue, TP-Link, Sony, ecobee, WeMo, SmartThings, Insteon, Lutron, Nest, Wink, Honeywell, and more.

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 a more powerful processor, the Echo Dot has improved wake-word performance to 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 Dot lights up and streams audio to the cloud, where the Alexa Voice Service is leveraged to recognize and respond to your request instantly.

ECHO DOT HAS SKILLS

Echo uses tens of thousands of skills and counting. Skills are like apps and help you do more with your device, like test your trivia knowledge with Jeopardy!, find your inner Zen with Headspace, track your fitness with Fitbit, fall asleep to ambient sounds, play games, and more. It’s easy to get started – just say “Alexa, help me get started with skills.” New skills are being added all the time. Discover skills and see ratings and reviews in the skill section of the Alexa app or by visiting the skill homepage. You can also create your own custom Alexa responses in minutes by using Alexa Skill Blueprints to create your own Alexa Skills.

ALEXA FOR KIDS

Turn Alexa into a kid-friendly DJ, comedian, and storyteller. Enable Amazon FreeTime in the Alexa app to unlock specific features on your Echo Dot designed with kids in mind. Parental controls in the online Amazon Parent Dashboard let you set daily time limits, review activity, or pause Alexa on the device. Parents can filter explicit songs from Amazon Music, and voice shopping is turned off to help prevent unexpected purchases. FreeTime is available on Echo, Echo Dot, and Echo Plus at no additional charge.
