Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen 2022) - Smart Speaker with Alexa

A: Hi Wanda! You can enable Amazon Kids (with associated parental controls) on ANY Echo device by using the free Alexa app. To set it up, find your device in the Alexa App under devices. Next, tap on the settings icon (a cog wheel) on the right, then scroll down to Amazon Kids and select it. From here you can turn on Amazon Kids mode and access the settings for a more child friendly experience. As part of that you'll set up profiles for your children, and then can customize things further using the Amazon Parent Dashboard. I'd also suggest checking out the Kids version of the Echo Dot, which also comes with a free trial of Amazon Kids+. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!

A: Hi K! Unfortunately this version doesn't have a clock interface, but you can always ask Alexa for the time! If you'd like a visual display of the time, check out the Echo Spot for a device with a similar form factor but screen that animates when you ask for things like the time or the weather! I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!

A: Hi AK! Using the free Alexa app on your smart phone, you could set up a routine that start playing music when you arrive at the house. I've done something similar to turn on my lights. To do so, open your Alexa app on your phone and enable location services. Once you've done that you'll create a new routine from the 'Routines' menu under 'More.' The '+' symbol at the top right lets you get started. On the New Routine menu, you'll see a few options. "For" is what device you want to control, go ahead and select your Echo Dot. Next, you'll set "When" using 'Location' and choosing 'Arrives' at the top. If you're at home when you set this up, you can just use your current location. Next you can set some qualifiers, like having this only trigger during certain hours. Finally, you'll choose an action which in this case will be 'Music and Podcasts.' You'll choose what song or station you want to start playing when this routine runs, and you can even set a duration and pick your streaming provider! I know that was a little long, but I hope that helps you get an idea of how you'd get things going. Remember, if that seems like a lot you can also just say "Alexa, play some music" once you get inside! I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!
