You need to have a smart phone or tablet to install the Alexa app so you can connect to it to set it up on an Amazon account (required). It doesn't need to be a Prime account. After setup you usually don't need to do anything further with the phone or tablet. Everything you do with Alexa is sent to the app or your online account so you can monitor anything that goes on from the phone or home computer. You can also delete any of these "card" reports. My friend bought one after seeing mine and he set it up on a basic Amazon account and then added the Spotify app skill to play his Spotify playlists and music.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am a senior myself, have a smart iPhone and iPad which are hooked up to my wireless router. My understanding is that the echo would work with just an Internet connection and router. I was thinking about this product as serving as a safety device because it can be set up to notify one or multiple people in case an emergency situation presents itself and you just alert alexia and then rpovide with message. This may need you to help your senior person in setting up such a feature using echo dot.
