Amazon Echo Dot is a voice-controlled device with a small built-in speaker - you can also connect it to your speakers
or headphones via Bluetooth or a 3.5mm stereo cable to listen to stereo sound through the speakers of your choice. Echo Dot connects to the Alexa Voice Service to play music, deliver information, news, sports results, weather forecasts and more.

Echo Dot hears you from the other side of the room, even in noisy surroundings or when music is playing. If you want to use Echo, just say the activation word "Alexa" and Echo reacts. If you have more than one echo or echo dot, Alexa responds from the closest device thanks to ESP (Echo Spatial Perception).

With its slim and compact design, Amazon Echo Dot is a practical addition to any room. With the built-in speaker, you can put Echo Dot in the bedroom and use it as an intelligent alarm clock that can also turn off your lights. Or use Echo Dot in the kitchen to easily set timers and more - just with your voice.

Echo Dot can also be connected directly to speakers via the 3.5mm stereo cable or Bluetooth so you can use your voice to operate your home or office stereo system.

Use Amazon Echo Dot to turn on the light from your bed, set the thermostat from your favourite armchair or dim the light from your sofa on TV night - all without lifting a finger.

Echo Dot works with smart home devices such as lamps, light switches, thermostats and others from WeMo, Philips Hue, Netatmo, Home Connect, Innogy, Tp-link, Magenta SmartHome and Tado°.

Echo Dot now supports IFTTT (If This, Then That). With this third-party program, you can create rules (also called applets) that automate the interaction of your apps, devices and websites.

Alexa-the brain behind Amazon Echo Dot-is automatically updated via the cloud, constantly learning new functions and skills. The more often you use Echo Dot, the faster it learns your language habits, vocabulary and personal preferences.

With Skills you can add even more skills, such as making a mytaxi booking, discover recipes with kitchen stories and much more. By activating skills, your Amazon Echo Dot offers even more possibilities - simply discover and activate the skills of your choice in the Alexa App.

With the free Alexa app on Fire OS, Android, iOS and desktop browsers, you can easily set up and manage your Amazon Echo Dot.

  • PositiveGünstiger Einstieg
  • Positivevoller Funktionsumfang
  • NegativeKlang kaum besser als vom Smartphone

Das kleinste Exemplar der Echo-Familie bietet alle Funktionen der größeren Modelle. Weil der Dot so winzig ist, eignet er sich aber kaum zur Musikwiedergabe. Zur Smarthome-Steuerung oder als Nachrichtenvorleser taugt er aber prima.

Die Hardware ist ähnlich, der Klang in beiden Fällen eher mies. Die Plattformen dahinter machen den Unterschied: Amazon ist weiter und bietet viel mehr Dienste an - noch! Google-Nutzer freuen sich beim Home Mini schon jetzt über die gelungene Integration von Google-Diensten.
