“I have a patient who is blind and lives in a nursing home. She does not own any "Smart" device. Can I use my Tablet or SmartPhone to connect the DOT (in the nursing home to their Wi FI) and they pay 4.00 a month for the Gospel Music they want?”

Yes, you can use an Android device to connect the Echo Dot. You'll have to find a service, like Amazon Music, for the music you want.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Once the device is setup that should work. You can also control it from your home as long as both devices were connected. You can add skills and other functions if wanted.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You'll have to check to see if the Gospel music service that she likes is stream-able and compatible with Amazon. The Dot probably isn't loud enough with its self-contained speaker, you'll have to use it's Bluetooth or earphone jack to connect to an external speaker or pair of headphones. The Echo would work fine
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's hard to say without knowing how the streaming music is setup in the nursing home. I do know the Echo will only stream music on demand without a tethered device from Amazon with a prime membership. Without the membership, your only other option is to have another Bluetooth device like a smartphone or tablet as a source for music files or other streaming service like Apple Music.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If I understand your question....yes, you could. It requires a smart device to do the original set up and get it connected to wifi....but after that it can operate independently. The only time you would get hung up is if you wanted to make a configuration change or tie it to a service....such as Spotify or Pandora.
