Amazon Echo Dot 3rd Generation

What is Echo Dot?

With a new speaker and design, Echo Dot is a voice-controlled smart speaker with Alexa, designed for any room. Just ask for music, news, information, control-compatible smart home devices, and more. You can either use the crisp and clear built-in speaker or connect Echo Dot to your own other speakers using Bluetooth or a 3.5 mm audio cable.

Simple to set up

Meet Alexa, the brain behind Echo

Alexa, the brain behind Echo Dot, is built in the cloud, so it is always getting smarter. The more you use Dot, the more Alexa adapts to your speech patterns and vocabulary. Using Alexa is as simple as asking a question – just ask and Alexa will respond instantly.

Make every day easier

Sleek and compact design makes Echo Dot a convenient addition to any room in the house. You can place Dot in the bedroom and use it to play music, set alarms and turn off your lights. Or put it in the living room to check the news, sports scores, calendar, and movie showtimes. Or use it in the kitchen to set timers, add items to lists and shop for millions of products on Amazon just using your voice.

Voice control your music

Echo Dot streams music from Amazon Prime Music, JioSaavn, Gaana, Hungama Music, and Spotify -just ask for your favorite artist or song, or request a specific genre or mood. Search for music by album, decade, or let Alexa pick the music for you. Or wake up to your favorite music by setting a musical alarm. With Amazon Prime Music, you can also create and manage your personal playlist.

Can hear you across the room

Echo Dot can hear you from across the room, even in noisy environments, or while playing music as it has four microphones that use beam-forming technology and enhanced noise cancellation. When you want to use the Echo dot, simply say the wake word “Alexa” and it responds instantly.

Voice control your home

Use Echo Dot to switch on the geyser before getting out of bed or dim the lights from the couch to watch a movie – all without lifting a finger or even raising your voice. Echo Dot works with compatible smart home devices - either WiFi-based or those that ship with their own hub.

With “Routines”, control multiple devices at scheduled times or with a single voice command, like switch on the AC and turn off the lights every night.

Alexa Communication

Use Echo Dot to call or message anyone who has an Echo device or the Alexa app. Just ask Alexa to place a call to Mom or send a quick voice message to a friend.

You can broadcast anything to all your Echo devices. Just say “Alexa, announce that I am heading home” from your Alexa app and your family will know. Instantly connect with other Echo devices in your home, or your closest family and friends. To get started, download the Alexa app on iOS and Android.

Stock up with Alexa

When you are running low on household essentials, Alexa makes it easy to refill your fridge or replenish your pantry. You can add everything from dry-fruits to AA batteries to your Amazon Cart, reorder favorite products from Amazon, and ask Alexa the status of your recent Amazon orders

Alexa has more than 30,000+ skills and counting. Skills add capabilities to your Echo device.
