yes Alexa can go without internet or anything if they needed emergency they could call 911 you could just say Alexa show me my dad's room what you have to like as an example if you have more than one Alexa in the house you going to have to name the Alexis or you going to have to just press on each one and see which one but if your dad is asleep and you want to see if he's okay and still breathing you can say Alexa show me my dad's room and Alexa will say okay and show you your dad's room.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Cowboys! While the Echo Show 10 shouldn't have issues connecting to an unsecured WiFi network, the connect strength and speed may be an issue. I would try making video calls with a phone or tablet from his room to see how the quality looks. If everything is working well, the Echo Show 10 is a great choice for checking in on family! The device can swivel around to keep your father in view, and you can seamlessly begin a call via drop-in without needing someone on the other end to answer. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!
