Great vid. I loved how you kept muting "Alexa" but I kept thinking that my speakers were crapping out. Like, every. Single. TIME! LOL!!!

Straight to the point without likening the sound of your own voice. Extremely professional and more so informative. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a channel like yours? I have to subscribe to your channel and set my notifications too. I am here because I want to get an Amazon doorbell. Thank you kindly for your time in making this video. Your time hasn't goner unnoticed.

Steve, what do you think about a short video on the three Amazon Smart bulb options? I need soft white dimmable but having all the colors would be great. Does the color changing bulb have the soft white with the capability of dimming?

Very useful, we have the echo 8 setup for our elderly parents on their 1st floor and the dot on their second floor. They can call us in an emergency! 👍👍👍 one problem was our number wasn’t showing up when they call someone, it was showing another long distance number!

So you have bought devices without asking to yourself : what I am doing to do with those things ? Or maybe those were gifts and you didn't ask : What is it, how does it work ?

@ronp880 5 ай бұрын

Nicely laid out. Question for you or for others before I hit Reddit.... Currently using two on the patio setup under the Home Theatre option from a Firestick 4k. I am moving to an Nvidia Shirld Pro and I cannot figure how to maintain the Home Theatre setup or output to a Speaker group as these two speakers (I don't need the seperate channels). Can this be done still? I read you can still output audio to the Firestick which would then output to the "Home Theatre" setup, but I can't figute out how. Or, how to output bluetooth to a speaker group. Appreciate any help.

Thanks for sharing. I've got the 5th get. (2022), so not the plus with the _Guard_ feature. How can I speak to a friend in another country through their Alexa and mine? Sometimes we like to chat whilst we're busy doing stuff. Also, would you know how to make Alexa pronounce your name correctly? It says my name in a weird way

One other great benefit I just found out is that these work as nodes for eero WiFi mesh systems. I already had a few echos that support doing that so I just had to buy one router.

I am having problems with the communication making phone calls. I am setting up for an elderly couple that are going blind. It used to work now it only allows a few phone numbers. When I deleted a couple of double numbers it now tells me I can't until they reset data. Do you have any help for this. Alexa used to be a great resource for my elderly clients now it's just a paper weight.

Good video, but.....how do you go about subscribing to 'Plus'? Not sure if Alexa app is very different compared to UK. I tried to set temperature settings to either 'cooler' or 'heater' - if temperature is high or low, my devices is suppose operate, but it doesn't do anything under routines. 😒

@ABC589 6 ай бұрын

I’m not 100% sure but I think you can say: **Alexa, announce [your announcement message] to [group/device name]** For example, Alexa, announce it’s time to go to the kids room. I’ll try to test it soon but if you test it first please let us know your results.

@SteveDOES 6 ай бұрын

I've been trying to test this out and i can't get it to work. It's still announcing to all my devices.

@ABC589 6 ай бұрын

@@SteveDOES maybe this feature has been removed for some reason or I’m just completely misremembering and this has never been the case. The latter seems more likely. Providing the phase is the same every time, you could set this up using a routine then you don’t have to announce to every Echo device. Hope that helps

Hi Steve I'm new to Alexa sometimes when I ask a question the replies are so wrong it's hard to believe. Here's an example - I'm planning a drive I ask Alexa "what's the weather on Bowes Moor UK tomorrow morning. So the answer comes back "The weather in Bowes park part of a US state sorry can't remember which one is cold and rainy temp can't remember "err I'm in the UK not the USA oh the answer had a date attached to it - some time in 2021 omg !!! Is there anyway to update the search engine or change it altogether like dare I say it Google sorry if I swore !!!. Any help would be great cheers Mike...

In the Alexa app, go to the Devices tab at the bottom and select your Echo Device. Click the gear icon in the top right corner and scroll down to 'Device Location'. This is were it should pull information based off of that location.
