Right this minute, Rick is listening to the Echo Dot as it plays a mixture of songs by Bread. I didn't pay for a Bread album, but it's playing the entire album I owned in the 1970's, while Rick is singing while making his famous banana bread. Hey, that is ironic.
How in the world is that happening? Last night, I asked it to play Beatles music, and for nearly 2 hours while cleaning my kitchen and mopping the floor, I heard The Beatles, and rarely a repeated song.
We bought one of these little dudes for my mother-in-law for her house, because she is 89 and flatly refuses to wear her Life Alert alarm. I see there is a capability to set it up to send a message, which would go to Rick's cell phone, if she alerts Alexa correctly. So if she fell, she would have to have the presence of mind to ask for it to send an email message to Rick. I keep hoping this will be easy for her. Maybe just wishful thinking? We are going to train her how to use it while on Kauai over the next few weeks.
What capabilities do you use with Alexa? I love this stupid thing.
