Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the Echo Dot (2nd generation)'s ease of use, sound quality, and small size, frequently praising its affordability and Bluetooth connectivity. While some users found the setup a bit challenging and noted occasional issues with Alexa's responsiveness or volume, the positive feedback on its core features outweighs these concerns. Many appreciate its use as an alarm clock and its integration with smart home devices.

    Picked one of these up to test out how well it would work for Home Automation purposes. Not (yet) being in the Amazon ecco system home automation was my main concern, with other features being a bonus or novelty. The Echo dot was able to add my home automation hub (SmartThings) easily and I was able to control my lights and fans with voice controls in minutes. For security reasons doors can not be controlled, you would want someone to yell "Alexa, unlock the front door" from outside your house and be able to walk right in. The short coming right now are that there are no push capabilities, meaning that you can't trigger Alexa to do something based on some other real world event. The skill marketplace is also flooded with useless trivia apps making it hard to discover more useful items. Lastly the iOS app, while it serves its purpose, could use some polish. The short comings where pretty minor in my opinion, and I've been very happy with my purchase. Alexa easily ties in with my home and understands my family with a high level of accuracy, which is more than I can say for other voice assistants.

    This is our first Alexa enabled device. The Echo Dot sounds great hooked up to external speakers. We do not regret getting the Dot over the full size Echo. We mostly use it to stream Pandora and Sirius XM as well as to control a couple of Smart Home devices. It does the job and does it well most of the time.

    Other than moving things physically, you can ask Alexa to do almost anything for you home automation. One thing I dont like, maybe its because my expectation was for her to be more like Siri, but i think Alexa is more helpful for home automation than information request over the internet. But very fun and useful to have around
