[Perfidious Albion]

I just played that 'Spot' video. .... the audio woke up my Alexa by saying her name...That happens. .....

Echo 2nd generation £69.99 (usually £89.99) - http://amzn.to/2iiyFsU

Mine farts. It has me in tears of laughter (but then I am highly immature).

You won't regret it.

Just a pity the speaker isn't a scratch n' sniff. Maybe on the 3rd gen model, when that eventually comes out.

Oooh - as an added bonus you can get a smart plug thing (so you can control a device either via Alexa or via an app on your phone) for £9.99 instead of £24.99 when you buy an Echo today..

Once you've got your Echo you will want lots of smart stuff. Watch Amazon for this

Last Black Friday it was around £35
Once you have the internet gateway you just add more sockets and light switches. I've got 17 at the moment.

A 3 month Amazon Music Unlimited subscription is currently 99p. That'll sort your Alexa out for some choons.

Right then. I've indulged (using Bozzas link natch) Or rather I've bought one and told the Mrs to give me it for chrimbo. What's the deal with the plugs? Do we order Doris to switch them on and off?

I've had an Echo for a year or two, even though Amazon has been refusing to sell them here in Canada, which was a bit annoying as I had to lie to Alexa and tell her I lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan (she never rumbled I was lying). They have finally put them on sale here and in addition to the Dot and the Echo they are advertising the Echo Plus, which has a built in smart home hub. Seems like a good move as it means you can buy things like Philips Hue lightbulbs without needing a Philips hub. I see they are doing the same thing in the UK. Strangely, in both countries you can buy it with or without a Hue bulb - for the same price. Why would anyone NOT take the free bulb?

I believe so, yes. And you can also use an app to control them remotely.

Can you add a link to the Echo Plus with your special NSC tag? (Original here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075RLRGB5)

And don't forget to select the configuration with the free bulb.

I've tooken the plunge, I am officially IN !

I did too. Seemed rude not to for £69.99.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with the plug though. I can't think of one thing I'm likely to feel the need to tell Alexa to turn on and off, nor do the same when away from home with my phone.

Christmas tree lights

 

[nordicgod]

Was thinking the same and use the plug to turn on and off the Christmas reindeer

Is the opinion this is the Black Friday deal for the Echos or could they go down again from Friday?

I use one to turn the outside light on/off in the garden.

Friend of mine lives in a rural unlit place so turns a house light one when walking towards his house late at night.
