This bundle contains two items. The first is the 2nd generation Amazon Echo Dot in white. The Dot is a smaller version of the Amazon Echo that retains all the functionality of the larger model. Once connected to your Wi-Fi network, the Dot needs only power to work. The Dot is a small disk with four buttons on its top. There are two volume control buttons, a mute button for the microphone, and an action button for context-based events such as alarms, setup, and waking from sleep mode. The Dot has 7 microphones that work together to detect commands even in noisy conditions or when you are far from the device. If multiple Dots are in use, the Alexa Smart Assistant identifies which you are closest to and answers you from there. The Dot can, on command, play music, search for news or weather updates, read recipes or audiobooks, make phone calls to people listed in your contacts, and set alarms. Alexa Skills are available on the Amazon store to enhance the Dot’s capabilities, adding functions such as Uber compatibility, fitness routines, jokes, and more. A light ring around the Dot’s upper surface helps communicate when the Dot is thinking, listening, playing or asleep. The Dot can also control linked devices, which includes Smart Plugs like the TP-Link Smart Plug. This plug connects to your Wi-Fi and is linked to your Dot through the Alexa app on your phone. Once linked, the Smart Plug can be turned on or off on command, either remotely via your phone from anywhere in the world or by voice through your Echo Dot. Timers can be set to wake or turn off certain devices and an “Away” mode can randomly turn devices on and off to give the impression that someone is home when you’re out.
