*I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*
You make setup look so easy !!! I hope when my Ring Doorbell and Echo Dot 3 arrive setting them up will be this simple. I’m 75yo and anything electronic scares me to death. Thank You for sharing your knowledge and making this video !!! Regards
@@peachyiisweet1644 if you turn off your phone or tablet with the app on it, will alexa still work or do you have to have your phone or tablet on all the time?
Excellent video demonstration. I would like to know how to connect it to my home stereo system and stream music through my speakers. What type of equipment would I need?
Great video Is the echo dot enough for me since I have Alexa app in my phone or it is MUCH better to have echo SHOW I need it for few smart home devices only
the Dot does a great job controlling devices. the Show is great if you are going to use it to watch videos. Try the new Echo Dot to start with. that's what i'm using, and it works great!!!! You're Welcome!!!!
Thank you. That was very informative. Now I would like to access the short video re the "Intro to Echo Dot" but I keep tapping the right facing arrow and nothing happens. Do you also have a video showing all the things it can do?
@The Wizard of West LA Im new to this the So you need to have the iPad on at all times, or does te Dot work off of the signal it's getting from your WIFI router ?
Why does my echo dot light ring continue to blink a pea green or yellow, hard to distinguish what color it is. I am not color blind. It responds to my requests but continues to blink all the time.
xXiicloudyiiXx _GAMING My echo dot works on Christmas XD when I said "Good Morning Alexa!" She said "Good Morning! I wish you a merry Christmas I wish you a merry Christmas I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!"
Can someone help me ? I bough a second hand Alexa echo dot , but I am not able to get the Alexa to show the orange light in order to connect to my Amazon account .. any advice .. Thank you
The action button works to turn off alarms, and it also helps with the reset feature by holding it down. If you hold it down over 5 seconds, it goes into a reset sequence which allows you to change wifi and other settings. I'll experiment with it more. Again thanks for watching the video. please leave comments and other ideas on the blog at www.wizardofwestla.com leave any experiments that you have done.
NOTE: if you are using iHome control on your Echo Dot I had a problem for a couple days that prevented me from using the home controller. It looks like that is fixed now. If you have heard of any more problems regarding this, please post a comment and let me know. thanks Ed
Thanks for Alex setup.Your voice sounds like a San Francisco late night radio host by the name of Bill Wattenberg.I might have the last name wrong,he also was a engineer by trade.Very familiar,it it you?
So does this mean it runs thru the wifi of the tablet and not the computer modem? I have a tablet that I don't use much that I could use but I'm worried it will be slow as christmas etc.
I am having no success getting Alexa to work. My problem is that I am gifting an extra Alexa that I have to a friend. I started a new account for her but it wont work. Feels like it only wants my account info. Is there any way to erase all the data and memory from the speaker so I can start fresh? Have spent hours trying everything and am at a loss as to what else to do. Thanks for any help.
@@levisjeans9756 if I remember correctly, it must have been bc my internet connection wasn't good enough. I moved it downstairs closer to my router and it works great now!
Once I got the orange ring on, I turned off my mobile data, connected to Amazon-xxx, and connect to my wifi. It worked that way. After, I turned my mobile data back on when everything was done.
My echo dot light ring continues to rotate a pale yellow ring, but mostly stays a violet color. And yes it is hard to distinguish what color it is. Is the Orange ring a true Orange? I keep getting "Not Orange? click on Action button" But it still won't connect. Never goes from Blue to Orange. Not sure I've ever seen Orange. As for: "Go to your Wi-Fi settings on this computer and select the network of the format Amazon-XXX. It may take up to a minute to display. After connecting to Amazon-XXX, you can continue setup." A network called Amazon-UWG did appear but even that didn't get me connected. Says no connection. Shouldn't be this difficult. If I have a virus wouldn't the set up show an error or something.
were all humans and we forget and make mistakes sometimes, just saying for people like you who don't get that, I mean, if you're more "better" at doing this, why weren't you the person who uploaded a video to help people out huh?
Thank You So Much For This Video I Really Needed Help. Me And My Mom Tried Doing This Last Night And Nothing Worked. We Tried Everything. I Don’t Know If My Mom Is Gonna Set Up The Alexa Echo Dot For Me.😊💖💖💖💖😡😡😡😡

the Dot does a great job controlling devices. the Show is great if you are going to use it to watch videos. Try the new Echo Dot to start with. that's what i'm using, and it works great!!!! You're Welcome!!!!
Try watching the other video that has the new updated Echo Dot.
@@TheWizardofWestLA I searched but I could not find your review for a newer version.
So could you please send me a link that you trust?
Hi, thank you for this video. If my tablet is off, my echo do wont work. Does my tablet always have to be on for the dot to work? Thanks!
Do you have to have your Ipad or tablet turned on for the Alexa Echo Dot to work?
No
This is so helpful thank you so much!! ❤️

Alexa, listening to you 24/7/365, even when you don't talk to it.
Do you have to keep your echo dot always connect it to the WiFi on your tablet or does it automatically change the WiFi on your tablet ?
I cant get past the ‘preparing your echo’ part. The bar goes about a third of the way and wont progress. Driving me mad.
Its Trixta me 2
My echo dot is evil
3:36 btw it does not have a battery
Oh hell...it needs to be plugged in to work?
Miriam Art yes it does it needs to be plugged in an outlet all the time
Can you use Alexa with more than one device?

Same here
Tray it with viasat or Hughes net
furbyboom28 is your phone off??
Paige Seeba how do u fix it
My dumbazz was looking for amazon-xxx.. Appreciate the tutorial..
Do you have to use Amazon ?
Can you just plug it in and use it in any room, or does it need to plugged into a laptop or tv?
Does the echo dot come with the plug in box ?
Zay Imprint yeah it should
Why does my echo dot light ring continue to blink a pea green or yellow, hard to distinguish what color it is. I am not color blind. It responds to my requests but continues to blink all the time.
it might be notifications, mine does that too, just say “ Alexa any new notifications “
Might be listening to your conversations, perhaps
Do you have music and does it work with it?
Tech Is Life using Bluetooth it does.
It worked. thanks for the help.
Thankyou this was so helpful!!😁❤
Thanks this really helped me out!

If you press it, it will trigger the Alexa voice service without you saying the wake word, Alexa.
Normal alexa's voice
No She can only only here you When you say the weak word
I could do that but you hold it for 15 seconds it's gonna go Orange and you have to reset it up
Thanks for this, will come in handy for setting up Xmas presents elexa
Thanks!!! Very easy to follow along.
Can I set my dot up separately from my husbands alexa, the original one if I have my own Amazon account?
Wonder if you can connect a nd set up using computer on line rather than smart phone?
NOTE: if you are using iHome control on your Echo Dot I had a problem for a couple days that prevented me from using the home controller. It looks like that is fixed now. If you have heard of any more problems regarding this, please post a comment and let me know.
