QuestionCan the Echo Dot open any app on your smart phone that you ask it to? My mom is is disabled and cannot use her hands. She has a voice activated calling app, but the app must be open for it to work. Can Alexa can "wake up" her phone and open the app?
Asked 8 years ago by ktwi.
- Answer No, it can not. However there is a skill you can add to Alexa that will enable contacts you enter as buddies to be contacted. Not sure how well it works as I did not enable that skill.

QuestionCan I pair the dot with more than one bluetooth speaker? I would like to be able to have speakers in different rooms for listening to music.
Asked 8 years ago by Sam.
- Answer No. the Echo can only pair to one Bluetooth speaker at a time. If you want to then use it for a different speaker, you would need to re-pair it. You can add additional Echos throughout the house and use each of them to play music, but you also cannot sync them currently to have whole-home audio. Supposedly this may be made available down the road via a software update, but I'm still waiting for it.

Questionif I buy the Echo do i need to buy a charger and what would i need to buy to turn on lights etc, for our home
Asked 8 years ago by zgirl3465.
- Answer Power cable comes with the Dot. You can add Hue lights and Alexa can control them. I have the Nest Thermostat and she can control that,like as well. I believe there is a list online at Amazon that shows all the devices the Echo line can control.

Questiondo you have to use a smart phone or tablet or is just Wi-Fi in home all you need.looking at this for an older person
Asked 8 years ago by tim.
- Answer 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.

Questiondoes it translate from English to german and german back to english
Asked 8 years ago by dolly.
- Answer No. I just tried it by asking "how do you say hello in German". It responded with "I can't pronounce that, but I've written it down for you". It does display several written translations in the Alexa App, but you have to open the app. I don't think it understands German or possibly can only understand one language at a time. I tried a few commands, but my German is also not that good. It kept responding "I didn't understand the question I heard."

QuestionDo you have to pay for music or do you get free amazon music?
Asked 9 years ago by Logan.
- Answer If you have prime you can get free prime music. You can also pay for unlimited which lets you play any song you want for free for 4 dollars a month if you sign up for it through the echo dot. If you don't want to do any of that the echo can also hook up to your iheart or pandora account plus a few others and use those to stream music as well. So you have multiple options for free music listening.

QuestionWhen will the echo dot be available for pick up in store?
Asked 9 years ago by Chad.
- Answer They are available now in stores, I got mine right after the release date and that was Oct.12-13th. So you shouldn't have any problems finding them, but I could be wrong with Christmas just 3 weeks away! It would make a great gift to yourself or a stocking stuffier and FYI BB has the best price ;) Good luck.!

QuestionWill the dot communicate with the echo?
Asked 9 years ago by Nine9ball.
- Answer No, they act independent but share the same profile. Its like moving the echo to a 2nd location. The dot is like the echo with a low quality speaker, however can pair with a Bluetooth speaker / sound system or using the inline canle option. In this way it's a better way to het quality sound if you have speakers already.

Questionturns on but does not resond anymore
Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I had this same problem a couple of times. I think once it was due to a power outage and when the power came back up the wifi did not automatically reset to all my devices. The fix was pretty easy, but required me to re-install the Echo Dot from the Alexa app.
