Is this a "plug & play" device? null

Set up is simple. When you plug it in it prompts the start up process and walks you through it. It also comes with a slim instructional detail.

Yes and no. It will do stuff right out of the box but some things require a new skill to be added through the Alexa interface. It's a little clunky but once you get it working it works fine.

For most functionality, you're going to have to set it up via apps as well as plugging some of your own info into its proprietary app.

you need to download an app to set it up, but not difficult.

No. You have to set it up with the app. It was easy though

Not quite. These devices take a few minutes to set up the first time, and it's gotta be done from a tablet or smartphone with the Alexa app. It's well worth the time invested, and I promise it's easy enough that ANYONE can do it!

For some uses it is plug and play and other uses require being set up or connected.

Yes!! you can plug and follow the instructions to set up.

No you need the Alexa app on a smartphone to properly setup the device on your wifi network but only takes a few minutes. have your wifi password/passphrase handy in case you need it to link up to your wifi router 1st time around.
