A: Yes, you can I currently have an echo plus in my basement family room and echo 1st gen in my kitchen on the main level and 4 dots 1 in each bedroom on the 2nd floor. We only use 1 bridge. You just need to make sure you name each rooms lights different ex. Master bedroom lights, next guest bedroom lights, Alex’s bedroom lights etc.
Q: Which is better the Echo Plus or Echo? What are the differences and which do you recommend?
A: Echo plus has the capability to control home automation products, without a hub. (It is the hub) Even if you dont currently use products like voice controlled lighting, curtains and speakers, you might in the future. Also, the plus has a larger speaker and sounds much better. I would purchase the plus.
A: Hello, Mary! Yes, all of your Echo devices can work together as long as they are all tied to your account through your Alexa App. You will be able to drop in, do announcements, and play music on all of them. To play music on all your devices, you just say "Alexa, play music everywhere" and she will play them on all of your devices. Have a great day!
Q: What languages does Alexa take other than English?
A: As of March 2020, Amazon Alexa supports 8 languages: English. French. German. Italian. Japanese. Portuguese (Brazilian) Spanish.
Q: Is it possible to use echo plus as a sound system for the TV?
A: Yes u can use it as a surround sound for your tv as long as it is a smart tv
Q: Will echo/alexa pair with my apple products?
A: It will integrate to a degree but not completely. You can MAKE calls with Alexa, but you can't receive calls.....at this time. If you have an Apple Music Subscription, it can easily be your default music service. It will incorporate your Apple iPhone calendar, so you can set appointments via voice and it will appear on your calendar. She will read your text messages, but she can't send them via iOS. You can send an email though and she can read back your emails as well. Hope this helps!
