Amazon Echo Dot with Alexa Gen 4

Meet Echo

Talk about well-rounded. Echo combines premium sound, a built-in Zigbee smart home hub, and a temperature sensor. Powerful speakers deliver clear highs, dynamic mids, and deep bass for a rich, detailed sound that adapts to any room.

Just ask Alexa to play music, answer questions, make calls, and tell you the news, sports scores, weather, and more.

More music in more rooms

Use your voice to play a song, artist, or genre through Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, and others. With multi-room music, you can fill your whole home with music, radio stations, podcasts, and Audible using compatible Echo devices in different rooms. You can even pair your Echo with compatible Fire TV devices to feel scenes come to life with home theater audio.

Built-in smart home hub with simple setup

The built-in smart home hub lets you easily set up and manage Zigbee and Matter-compatible smart devices. Just power on compatible lights, plugs, sensors, and locks and say, “Alexa, discover my devices.” The hub also works with select Ring Smart Lighting solar lights and bulbs.

Alexa is happy to help

Make your life easier at home. Set timers, ask questions, add items to lists, and create calendar events and reminders. Check the traffic and weather, or play the news. Access tens of thousands of Alexa skills. You can even bring new life to game night with Song Quiz, Jeopardy!, Common Knowledge, and more.

Stay connected and in sync 

Instantly drop in on other rooms in your home or make an announcement to every room that has a compatible Echo device. Let everyone know dinner is ready, or remind the kids that it’s bedtime. You can also stay in touch with friends and family with hands-free calling.

Alexa for kids and family

Alexa can help kids learn and grow—while having fun along the way. With free parental controls from Amazon Kids, Alexa will automatically give kid-friendly responses, filter explicit songs, and block shopping. Children’s privacy is important to us. Discover how kids can use Alexa, watch helpful how-to videos, get answers to FAQs, and more.

Designed to protect your privacy

Alexa and Echo devices are built with multiple layers of privacy protection. Echo smart speakers have a microphone off button that electronically disconnects the microphones. You also have control over your voice recordings and can view, hear, or delete them at any time. Alexa uses ultrasound motion detection with select features, such as Occupancy Routines. Ultrasound does not emit on your device unless a feature is enabled that uses motion detection to properly function. You can turn motion detection off at any time.
