Ask Alexa
Alexa is the powerful Amazon digital assistant that's always ready to help. Connected to the internet, it can use that resource to answer general questions, set timers, provide weather forecasts and sports scores, and even tell you a joke.
Smart Home and Routines
With compatible smart home devices on the same Wi-Fi network, you can use your voice to control them using the Echo Dot. You can also create functions called "routines", which automate functions based on certain triggers. For example, you can have music play at a specific time, turn on the lights if you trip a motion sensor, or activate a fan if the temperature gets too hot.
