Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Gen) Smart Speaker, incl power adaptor

I have been using this Alexa-voice-activated device to play streaming
radio music stations like ABC Classic 2, Radio Paradise, SomaFM, etc.,
in my bedroom.

You need to connect the Echo Dot to power, and you can wire in other
devices via the 3.5mm aux output for better sound, but otherwise it can
go anywhere that it can hear your voice. Once powered-up, it\u2019s simple to
use the Amazon Alexa app to get it connected to your wi-fi network

Alexa can play music, answer questions, read the news, check the
weather, set alarms and who knows what else. I just used it for playing
music.

I now have a different streaming device and stereo speakers so the Echo
Dot can be retired. Still works well and has a surprisingly decent sound
for a small device.

Only caveat is that Amazon (from 28/3/2025) will collect every command
you speak to Alexa, and use the voice commands to train their AI system.
If that doesn't concern you, you may find this device useful.

Maybe set it up in the kitchen to keep you company while peeling the
potatoes!
