Lo –
Echo Dot works great!
This 5th Gen Echo Dot has surpassed my expectations! I have had this one for a year now. The sound quality for listening to music is very good. I don’t need to turn on my larger wireless speaker I always used before this purchase; the Echo audio is preferable. As far as everything else, it works as expected, timers, questions, notifications, etc. Very easy to connect also. The Glacier White color is unobtrusive in the living room unlike our old black one. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised because the price was so reasonable.

Multi-Music Player mystery solved, how to select more than one echo if you cannot
Alexa Echo SpeakersMulti-room Music issuesI found a solution to not being able to get more than one speaker to work at a time, paired, or set up a âMulti-Room Musicâ in the Alexa app. This solution also fixed my inability to get Apple enabled devices connected into HomeKit, or even Google Nest Hubs to set up, period.Quick answer: Deselect âEnable Wireless Isolationâ when activating your 2.4 Wi-Fi broadcast on your router.I also took all speakers off guest wifi. But Iâll try to put them back to see if that is necessary now.Back story: Months of issues with HomeKit, (only weeks with Echo Multi-Room Music), I gave up trying and decided to try Alexa and Google to replace my Apple smart home efforts. I spent way too much time. After the fix, Iâll live a blended tech life. Iâll give a quick answer, followed by my backstory: Last week I was at my wits end in utter frustration over three major roadblocks. I acquiesced and decided to try Alexa because I couldnât get almost any of my Apple HomeKit enabled devices into HomeKit, except for new Apple products. I knew it had to be something small I was missing. Alexa was sooooo easy and quick to connect to everything, before I figured out the fix. (I dislike the echo show advertising, their echo speakers are better.) While they seemed a breeze to connect everything, for some reason I couldnât get more than one echo speaker to work at a time. I was continually blocked from setting up Multi-Room Music or even connect a pair to play together.  Hundreds of tries. I deleted, reset, rebooted, spent over 4 hours with Comcast yesterday (thankfully a Boston native who did not put me on hold every minute like certain countries) getting my internet working again. I had rebooted my modem and router so many times, my computer got molasses slow and I feared I went too farIn interest I also decided to try a few Google nest hub speakers. Black Friday had great sales on all this stuff. Trying to set up googles hub 7 was impossible. It wouldnât stay connected to the internet for more than a split second before âSomething went wrongâ message. Probably over 70 tries. (Google is better than Echo Show. Apple HomePod mini sounds crisper and better than Amazon echo 4 and mini 5âs. But Alexa is way friendlier to interact with verbally, and price point, well…)Frustration. Thursday, I broke down and bought my first Apple Homepod Mini to see if I can get that working and see if it works better than the Apple TV 4k Ethernet connection. The HomePod mini gave me a hint how to solve all these l connection and internet blocks. The HomePod mini kept telling me that I donât have âpeer-to-peer connectionâ allowed on my network.Now, Iâm a little techy, but it took three days (ehem, months) to finally take a chance on a for granted setting I always enable on my netgear router. Itâs the blasted first Wireless page when enabling a wifi broadcast.I had to deselect âEnable Wireless Isolation.âThat was it. It solved every issue I have come across with smart home tech for the last 4 months, ..year.For the months that I could not solve these problems, Amazons Multi-Player Music issue made me dig deeper. I did not find anyone suggesting this particular router setting, so I thought Iâd share with ppl. Tonight, I finally am able to simultaneously play music on all of my Echo speakers, connect my HomeKit enabled and Google nest hubs.Iâm not sure what this will do for my/your internet security. But Iâm going with it for now. And Iâll try to put all devices back onto guest Wi-Fi. Iâll never really leave Apple, but after interacting with other smart speakers, itâs probably not going to be my main go to for speaker or answers to questions. Or Iâll just get too creeped out by Google and Amazon invasiveness and acquiesce with Apple instead. Echo Dot 5 (this is such a sprite, great speaker!)Echo 4are my favorite for Amazon EchoEcho Studioseems the least smart, most deaf, quiet, combative, difficult to interact with, of the three speakers. Hopefully the Multi-Room music fix will improve my experience with itEcho Show 8Meh. Far too much and annoying advertising of non-solicited or wanted advertisements. Least user friendly screen to work with. It sits unplugged for the most part. I mostly got this for a friend who visits who wants a YouTube fireplace playing on the tv.SIDE NOTE on other Smart Home Amazon (online, or physical store) products, related to this topic:I have been pleased with Smartbot plugs, switches and app, the Levoit 600s air purifiers and app (app goes by VeSync), and Lutron Caséta Light Switches and Dimmers, and hub. Lutron has the most stable and reliable app out there. I was fine running their apps separately. They are very nice, better than the big 3 apps. Well, back to listening to music throughout my house instead of one or two rooms. Joy!

Every householdâs emergency plan should include a Dot
Iâm 53 years old, disabled, and live on my own. I have limited mobility, and sometimes every day tasks can be challenging. Iâm always on the lookout for ways to make life easier, as well as safer. Iâm a fan of smart devices for that very reason. I enjoy, dare I say ârelyâ, on the convenience of being able to sync my phone with my Dot in order to; turn on any one of my lights, adjust the temperature in my home, activate and/or manage my security devices.In addition, being able to speak to my Dot has made it so I donât have to walk, or even move, if my back or hips are having a particularly bad day. Dot has literally improved the quality of life.I have discovered that this small sphere, with its powerful speaker, will be key in maintaining my ability to live independently for as long as possible. On August 18th, slightly past midnight, I fell in my kitchen. The fall stunned me and I started to go into shock. For some reason my watch didnât detect that I had fallen. Something it had done successfully in the past. That meant emergency services would not be alerted. I tried to stand up( something that would have been challenging under normal circumstances)â¦.I couldnât do it. My next thought was to try and scoot to the table. My body was riddled with pain the moment I attempted to do this. I knew I was hurt, but the severity of my injury had not quite registered. I reached down to shift my leg and it swayed freely in my hands. I didnât know it, but my femur had snapped slightly below my hip. Thatâs when fear started to take hold. No watch, no phoneâ¦.what was I going to do? Then I remembered Dot. I asked her to call my emergency contacts. She did it! Unfortunately, none heard their phones. Itâs late at night, and they were all asleep. The pain was becoming severe and I was scared. I asked Alexa to call 911, but she told me she couldnât do that! I didnât expect that. Then I asked Alexa to call the security office at my complex. They answered and I was able to let them know I had fallen and I had broken my leg.As I said, Iâm disabled. I had an emergency plan in place. This plan had worked for me in the past. Nothing is fool proof. I learned the importance of having a backup plan. Thankfully I received my Dot about 3 weeks prior to my fall. I also decided to place it in my kitchen so I could listen to music while I cooked. I never imagined Iâd be using my Dot for an emergency. I dread to think how long I would have been on the floor waiting for help.

Love the device, aesthetics are a bit off though
Great price, easy setup, pairs nicely with the sub add on… All except it’s lack of multipoint Bluetooth, which I assume is how it connects to the sub. Sensitive enough to hear me from farther away than expected, especially around the corner of the doorway that it sits next to, I can call out from the other side of the wall around the corner through the doorway and it picks up and responds. I did activate the beep feature to confirm since I was hoping for that, and it works! At least in my floor plan it does, can’t speak for other designs. I’m sure the hard wood flooring has a bit to do with it, if you have softer things around like carpet it probably wouldn’t work as well….and a white power cord on a black device? I mean really? Did someone not think that one through, or was it just a cheaper option than black? Idk but it’s just aesthetics, that and the sub not working when streaming Bluetooth content, why I gave 4 of 5.
