Today it is very common for us to find one of the smart speakers that Amazon has in its catalog in our homes. But, in the event that you still doubt if they are really useful products, today we are going to give you 5 reasons why you should buy an Echo with Alexa as soon as possible. Pay attention.
A smarter home
One of the main uses that is usually made of this equipment is to control the different home automation equipment that we have at home Among them may be smart light bulbs, our Smart TVs and even the robot vacuum cleaners compatible with Alexa.
All these devices can be at our disposal, without us lifting a finger, just by asking Amazon's intelligent assistant to make them work with a voice command. It is not something vital for our existence but, after using it for a while, we can assure you that it will make your life easier in many situations.
Stay in touch inside and outside the home
Thanks to Amazon smart speakers we can maintain communication both inside and outside the home. And it is that one of its star functionalities is the power make calls (included by video, if available) or use it as an intercom.
In the case of calls, we will be able to communicate with anyone who has another Amazon Echo speaker at home or even if said user installs the Alexa app on their smartphone. If you both have one of this manufacturer's screen speakers, which incorporate an integrated camera, these calls may be by videoconference. To be able to use this functionality, all you have to do is say "Alexa, call..." indicating the name of the contact.
On the other hand, if you have several Amazon Echos scattered around the house, you can use them to communicate with someone who is at the other end of the house without having to raise your voice. All you have to do is say "Alexa, let everyone know that food is on the table", immediately afterwards the assistant will launch your message through all the speakers in the house.
Control your agenda and shopping list effortlessly
Personally, we love using these two features of the Amazon Echo to help us in our day to day.
You should know that you can ask Alexa to save any task in your calendar and, of course, remind you when the time comes. If you have a speaker with a screen at home, at a glance you will be able to see the pending tasks you have each day.
Another super interesting functionality, and that will surely save you time as well as forget about something, is that we can create a Shopping list with Alexa. We recommend that you have an Amazon Echo in the kitchen, near the fridge, and every time you see that a certain food is running out, say "Alexa, add ham" by changing "ham" to what you need to add. This will automatically cause the assistant to store it in the shopping list and then, when you get to the supermarket, all you have to do is open the Alexa app on your phone to have everything written down.
Design adaptable to any place
Without a doubt, the Amazon Echo family is quite extensive. You have models of all kinds and with very varied designs. From some very small ones like the Amazon Echo Dot, others that we can place anywhere like the Echo Flex or speakers with a screen like the Echo Show that we can use as a photo frame to hide them in our living room.
In short, you have a lot of Amazon Echo speakers that you can buy with designs of all kinds to spread throughout your home. There is no excuse to say that they do not fit with the decoration.
A team willing to be squeezed
But, for many functionalities and characteristics that we can talk about in this or in other articles, the possibilities that these devices offer us are immense.
In addition, Amazon is always providing them with new things they can do, new commands and improving the way they interact with us. If you want to know a little more in depth everything the Amazon Echo can do, we recommend that you take a look at these videos on our YouTube channel.
