    like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

    Awesome, thanks. Bought the first generation for my wife a few years back. She used it for a week then put it away because she was afraid of being spied on LOL. I don't care, I'm dusting this thing off and giving it a try with my Ring home alarm system. Wish me luck...

    If your Echo Dot 2 is simply not responding, the first thing to try is to unplug it and leave it unplugged for longer than 30 seconds. After 45 seconds or so, plug it back in and it will perform a soft reset on itself. I have two Dot 2’s, and simply unplugging it for 30+ seconds has fixed any problem I’ve ever had. If that doesn’t work, the next step is the hard reset as described here.

      Just unplug the power adapter from the device or the outlet and then plug it back in. To reset your device to its factory settings: Press and hold the Microphone off and Volume down buttons. Wait until the light ring turns orange (about 20 seconds).

    There’s around 10.000 videos about how to press two buttons. Mine has been spinning blue/white for days.. the buttons and voice are non responsive.. 3rd gen so no reset pin hole. I’m all out of ideas. The 50.000 videos about how to unplug it and plug it back in did not help either.

      Hey Foo! It sounds like it might be broken. I might get a new one if that is an option. The notes you have above would be my suggestion.
