    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....

If someone stands by my kitchen window, they'll be able to open a cupboard bifold door and control the lights. Is that a security issue? No but that's not to say that some people might make mistakes with their own automation. Obviously you want a door lock to be secure but it's pretty trivial to connect up a momentary relay from the likes of Sonoff and add that via the alexa skill and create a routine called "Open Garage" and then just hope that someone doesn't think of shouting to alexa through the window "Open Garage".

      @FenstermäkerWJ I'm sure what your point here is. But I'm pretty sure it doesn't take a genius to replace a triple a battery. A battery level indicator is also not something that needs to be invented. The tech has been in existence for decades. I fail to see your argument with why they cannot have a battery in there. Echo dot is just like my portable Bluetooth speaker that RUNS ON BATTERY if not bigger than it. My ISP router runs on UPS battery so there is no concern of internet connectivity loss for the echo when there is power failure if it has a battery.

    You can only create a ‘stereo pair’ with two of the same devices, you can’t mix and match. From Amazon: At the moment you can pair two supported Echo devices of the same model for stereo sound in a speaker set. You can also pair an Echo Sub to supported Echo devices for richer bass.

    I find this review sort of biased. Amazon dot 2 smaller. You can buy cloth covers to match room and swap out for different rooms if you like to display. Who runs the dot from its onboard speakers unless bluetooth is out. a nice pair of speakers bluetooth connected give whole room sound, music and speech. I don't see the Dot as a display object. bought a socket hanger and my smaller dot 2 hangs hidden at socket and my harmon kardon speakers do the shelf display and throw great stereo sound. No offence but dot 2 does everything that dot 3 does, but smaller and less intrusive to hang at wall socket out of the way paired with great speakers.

    I've just downloaded the Alexa app 3 days ago, but I don't have a "smart home skills" place. Just a section for "skills and games". Why is mine different? Is it because I don't have Echo Dot 3rd generation device? I've ordered it but it won't be delivered until December 5th. Your answer would be helpful. Thank you.

    The alexa will work its command for lights and electric fans or radio connected to L-L or L-N power source. But what about lights with common and return switch connection. What is the wiring connection for this so the light bulb can function in the switch.

    Surely the performance is nothing to do with volume? You could have turned one down and the other up.
    Plus you seem to have mixed your measurement - comparing dBs as percentages has to be irrelevant.

    I was so impressed by the sound quality of the Echo Dot Gen. 3, I went ahead and bought a 2nd one. They sit about 5 feet apart. Why would I place them so close to each other? STEREO. With a few simple steps in the Alexa app, you can set up an impressive stereo system. And if you want to go wild, add an Echo subwoofer. I am not ready to buy one of those yet. For now I am really happy with my system as it stands. With the luck of a good sale or 2, for less than 60 bucks I have 2 Dot Gen. 3's and 2 Wemo smart plugs to control my lights. (one of my dots went on a 12 hour sale for 17.50 with a free Wemo smart plug included.) And of course a pretty smart information source and all around helper. I can tell you that the sound quality of the Gen. 3 is WAY better that the Gen 2. All around cool set of toys for a very fair and low cost. Superb Features!

    Apparently you need the sub to create a stereo speaker setup. In the video the sub wasn't mentioned so I figured I could still do left and right. Stereo pairing isn't even showing up as an option in my 2nd gen dots in the app, only my 2nd gen echo has the option to select. But when you click setup it says no compatible speakers found. I chatted with an Amazon rep and she informed me you have to have a sub for the option to show up in the dots. Is this correct??

    I just wanted to add my own experience. I've had all of them and just got the 3rd gen. I also have Google home. The dot 3 is clearly way ahead of the earlier versions in quality and sound. But... There are some issues with the Dot that the home doesn't suffer. If you play both devices with music at a high volume, the Dot will NOT hear you unless you shout or you are very close to it. That is a fact!! I've had them ALL and they all do it... It's like it's gone deaf. The Google does hear you. In all honesty, the gen 3 dot doesn't sounds loads better than the Google home. I was hoping it would but it really doesn't. What the gen 3 does though is look and feel amazing. It's a beautiful thing and it's great to see that Amazon have given some real energy into improving it, that is always great to see so well done Amazon

    If all you are doing is listening to music, get the 3rd gen. But, it has too much echo/bass to understand the voice well. I prefer the 2nd gen Alexa and and would get it, even if I had to pay extra. Or, get the google dot. It is smarter and more happy medium between voice and sound.
