    Welcome to my first official Echo tutorial video! This video is to catch you up on all the features available on with an Amazon Echo. What feature do you want to see next?

      The Zigbee Hub is there a way to turn it off ?? I already have a Show 10 and a Studio with hubs.. Using the Show 10 to control my Philip blubs, I am going to install more Philip blubs an I just got 2 Echo 4th gen, how do I control all 4 hubs in my system?? How do I tell which hub to control which blub.. Also how do you remove a device from a/the Echo hub if I would want to install the Philips hub.??
      Thanks in advance, John

    Absolutely the best editing on a tutorial - it actually makes you believe Echo devices are functiomal - unless you already own one and know better. This goes for all the people that have caught themselves yelling at their devices to perfortm the most basic functions such as "play"or "pause" with no success.

  • @realrobwebb
    @realrobwebb 3 года назад +33

    Very thorough, thank you! Owners of these devices don't realize exactly how much they can be used for. They really are a great wireless assistant. I only hope that future updates will allow US to choose exactly what "wake up" name we want to be saying all day every day because "Amazon, Echo, Alexa and Computer" get old fast and definitely are putting a dent in the "user friendly" and "user personalization" of owning these devices. Also, I would like to see the option of a Male voice and a Cartoon voice for children, I mean, come on Amazon, it is simple AI Coding. Again, thank you for this very educational video that should truly be provided by Amazon on their website for these devices.

I am blown away, since I am a technic freak who loves reading instruction manuals...which didn't come with it. The evening before I got the Echo, I 'inhaled' your video, so everything is working the way I imagined it would work. I changed not only the name of Alexa, but also changed to a male voice. Tomorrow I pick up a dark/blk. Echo Dot 5th Gen, I feel like a child in a candy store, squealing whenever I activate something new. Life is good as a tech-nerd. Thanks

    Just received mines today (2 of them), paired in the kitchen as stereo. Setup was a breathe (Factory done, plug and play), just had to create a stereo pair, wich too was a breathe. Sound is really good, much more than I expected. I was planning to eventually add a Subwoofer, but I think for the kitchen it will not be needed. My previous setup was an Echo flex connected to Logitech Sub+speakers. This replaces them for the better ! The only mistery still on is that sometimes one seems to be listening (light on), but the other one is answering ! Well anyway all works like a charm :)

    One skill that was never mentioned or demonstrated is the voice imitation skill. So far, I know that Amazon is working to make Alexa imitate any voice, but I have a few questions about this feature.
    1. How do you record audio of a voice for Alexa to imitate?
    2. If it’s an old voice recording you’re letting Alexa listen to, can Artificial Intelligence clean it up, de-noise it, and correct the pitch, timbre, and vocal formant?
    3. When will Amazon be finished updating Alexa to where she will able to mimic every voice possible? I would love to hear her mimic some of my favorite actors, voice actors, and singers I grew up with, many of which were before my time. I hope the feature is fully established by Christmas because my dad is getting me a 4th generation Echo for Christmas.

    Brett I know I can trust you so have you ever made the routine with the temperature sensor in the bottom of any of the pluses or any of them work. I have never been able to get it to work. I've set the high and I've set the low limits. And nothing ever happened. But when using the zigbee sensors that comes with either SmartThings or another one that hooks up the fans and other items go on and off easily. So I just wanted to know if you'd ever got it to work! Once again you did a super video. And keep up the great work

    Wow, a very comprehensive video, Brett. Yep, I stayed until the end except pause a couple of times to check things on my own devices as you discussed them. As I'm using a couple of LoRa devices now that operate in the 900 Mhz band, I'm going to interested to see if they'll work with Amazon's 900 Mhz "Sidewalk." For example, have a Lora motion sensor (takes its own hub right now) inside a steel mailbox at the road and it works fine telling me the mailbox has been opened. Amazon showed their own version of this sensor, but it isn't out yet. This could be a significant Smart Home feature or maybe a bust. We'll have to wait and see, but hopefully not too long.
