Before getting out of bed, turn on the lamp, raise the temperature while reading in your favorite chair, or lower the lights while lounging on the couch to watch a movie.

Always improving, Alexa
Dot becomes better at adjusting to your speech patterns, vocabulary, and personal allusions the more you use it. Additionally, since Echo Dot is continuously online, updates are automatically downloaded.

App Alexa

Make voice calls to nearly anyone hands-free.
Use Drop In to rapidly connect to another compatible Echo at home or to send a message to all of your Echo devices, such as a dinner invitation or a bedtime reminder. Stay in touch with friends and family in more than 150 countries by using Skype calls.

Music control by voice

Ask Echo Dot to play your favourite song or artist, or to play music from a certain genre or mood. It can also stream music from Spotify, JioSaavn, Gaana, Hungama Music, and Amazon Prime Music. By album, decade, or by letting Alexa choose for you, you can search for music. Or wake up to your favourite music by setting a musical alarm. You may make and manage your own playlists using Amazon Prime Music.

Home voice control

Without moving a finger or even raising your voice, use Echo Dot to turn on the geyser before getting out of bed or lower the lights from the couch to watch a movie. The Echo Dot is compatible with smart home gadgets that are WiFi-based or come with their own hub.
