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.

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.

Compatible with the Amazon ecosystem of products, the Echo Dot can be paired with another Echo Dot for multi-room audio, paired with a Fire TV for home theater sound, or with an eero Wi-Fi router to extend its Wi-Fi coverage.

Setup is as easy as plugging the Echo Dot into the wall and connecting it to the internet using the Alexa app on your mobile device.

The Echo Dot also offers access to wake word technology and streaming indicators. Use your voice to ask Alexa to view and delete voice recordings, give you access to privacy settings, and more.
