About this deal

Hey, most of us love shouting at the TV anyway – it might as well actually do something. Many modern TVs already have voice control but if you’re looking to link everything together with your Echo Dot in your smart home, the little smart speaker is extremely good at this job. Thankfully, the ever-useful Dot is way more forgiving with updates than some other technology companies I could mention. This guide will have stuff you can do whether you’re the proud owner of a 1st, 2nd or 3rd Gen Dot. And we’ll be looking at things to try, interesting things Alexa can do and much more. #1 – Your Dot is great at playing games (like Trivia hero) This 100% voice controlled general knowledge trivia challenge which you can play on your own, or against other people. You’ll be asked a series of questions and it’s definitely cool using your voice rather than a screen to play a game show. Like all the things to do in this guide, Trivia Hero is free.

With 4 far-field microphones, Alexa can hear you from across the room. And with compatible Echo devices in different rooms, you can fill your whole home with music. The echo dot is a good looking device that blends in well with modern furniture and interior design.As the video below explains, you can control both smart and non-smart TVs with Alexa, with the smart kind being a lot simpler (and free!) to do. Setting alarms on your Dot, or simply getting your Echo to let you know when a timer has expired will save your butt more times than you can shake a smart speaker at. Unless you’re captain super-organized, your Dot might just save you some of these hassle points.

If you’re a smart home newbie, maybe start with a smart plug from Wemo or TP-Link. They are low-cost, low-stakes entry points that let you turn whatever’s plugged into them on and off with a yelp. turn on the lights” …turn off the lights” …to brighten my lights” …to dim my lights” …stop flashing lights to music”* …start flashing lights to music”* #4 – Controlling your TV with your Echo Dot is awesome Filed under: Extreme laziness / awesomeness It never gets old using your voice to turn on lights when you enter a room. And aside from the normal uses, there’s plenty of more adventurous things your Dot can do when it comes to your lighting.One of the best things to do with your Echo Dot 2023 is still getting it to control things in your smart home. The smaller dot works exactly the same as the larger units and there’s all kinds of things alexa can control.
