    Is anyone using it able to let others know if these things are worth it or not.

      I have two and never use them, but I think it's a matter of forcing yourself at first (which I haven't done). In theory they could be handy. The audio is pretty good and if you want better sound you can plug speakers into them (if you have some) or get the bigger ones with better speakers.

        Before I buy anything anymore, bargain or not I askmyself - Do I need it?

          If you had an Amazon Echo you could asked Alexa and SAVED yourself the hassle of thought.

      My family is enjoying having them. We've got two dots both plugged into external speakers (because we had some unused desktop speakers around).

      Kids enjoy asking for the weather and jokes.

      For adults, we listen to the 'flash briefings', add things to our shopping lists, ask random trivia type questions (results vary), and I've written a couple of skills to access specific data.

      Yes, all these things you could do on your phone/computer…so it's not necessary, but at this discounted price they're a bit of fun.

      So far I've avoided spending money on home-automation things. And I think that's where the real power lies.

      • wfdTamar on 20/04/2018 - 15:22

        I’ve used mine to turn my Lifex lights on and off. Handy when I’ve turned the iPad off for the night.

    • Captain M on 20/04/2018 - 19:56

      These are great. I have it hooked upto a logitech harmony companion and a sonoff smart switch. This lets me just sit on the couch and say 'alexa turn the tv on' and it will switch on my av receiver, xiaomi tv box and my tv with the correct av input channel.

      Then I can also say 'alexa turn on the light' and it will tell my sonoff to turn on. All of this is available with very little setup and its all kids and wife safe. Its really convenient. Happy to share details if anyone is interested.

      • ElderyMan on 21/04/2018 - 08:55

        Yes please, interested in details.

      Pretty sure that’s not available on oz amazon.

    doesn't integrate with their audible. Spotify needs to be premium account only. Unless someone disagrees, its just there for basic things like what is weather, etc.

    I find google home is better.

    • pasey25 on 20/04/2018 - 08:21

      Echo dot I find better for home automation. For music mine syncs to my Plex server

      • rbc3585 on 20/04/2018 - 08:40

        In what way is the Echo better for home automation, if you don't mind me asking? I have a Google Home but haven't invested in any smart home things yet.

        • singlemalt72 on 20/04/2018 - 09:26

          Amazon has more native connectivity to automation devices - Google is improving but still requires a third party like IFTTT to get things working.

        • mgf909 on 20/04/2018 - 10:19

          @singlemalt72: Have you seen the list of stuff Google natively supports? Its extensive and covers probably anything you can buy! Its far better at handling natural language and working out what your asking than Alexa which is important unless you want to train anyone how to use it.

        • singlemalt72 on 20/04/2018 - 10:28

          @mgf909:
          Amazon was first to the market and hit the ground running, they even purchased some home automation companies.
          As I said, Google is improving but is still behind, they will probably catch up in the near future. This doesn't mean Google Home wont control the same devices, you just need to use a third party app at times.

          FWIW I have Google home (4 devices) and think it is great.

          I have both and I call alexa more often than google. The echo is faster than gh when controlling stuff at home. It could be because of my setup (HASS).

          The echo can also pair with a bluetooth speaker while gh cannot.

        • iMacca on 20/04/2018 - 10:53

          @jobski: GH can pair with BT speakers now too

      • Maz78 on 20/04/2018 - 10:25

        Spot on. Amazon is better for Hass / Automation configurations.
        Playing jeopardy is fun too! :)

      Can get spotify premium for less than $20 a year if joining philippines family hacks.or if you have patient to set up your own pretty much free.

      Free Spotify is useless anyway. So either you don't use Spotify or use premium

        I have a Sonos Play:1 that I'm looking forward to integrating with… Will also start to dabble into the smart home space with some globes etc. in the coming weeks!

          I made this mistake when buying my echo dots, there's no Sonos skill in Australia yet. You can configure it so it uses a US account or something and then add the Sonos skill, but the Aus one should be coming in the next month or so

  • doctorwatson on 20/04/2018 - 08:26

    Strange AWSECHO25 doesnt work for me

  • peuwayaqdq on 20/04/2018 - 08:49

    Is it only for new account?

    What's the usual decision points whether to go with Google Home or Alexa? I have impression that Alexa is supported by more devices?

  • stickymoo on 20/04/2018 - 09:22

    $40 to have something constantly nagging & watching me. It’s a cheap reminder that I am happy single. Thanks for the deal!

      It only speaks when spoken to. You haven't been in many relationships if you think that's what it's like ;)

        Just having to remember I have to speak to Alexa is too much commitment.

        I wonder the transparency of personal data being mined with out my knowledge.

  • Kunny on 20/04/2018 - 10:04

    Does Alexa intergrate with chromecast or similar device? I have a google home that will let me youtube, spotify, netfilx etc on my tv with chromecast, would get the eco if it could do something similar. Otherwise it would just be for music which I can use my phone and a bluetooth speaker anyway.

    • XeKToReX on 20/04/2018 - 10:11

      No cast integration with Alexa.

        Yeh, I have a feeling that the amazon echo will become the betamax to the 'VHS' google home.

          It is looking a bit that way but time will tell

    • iMacca on 20/04/2018 - 10:54

      I have both Google Home (Original + Mini) and Amazon Alexa (Echo Dot + Ecobee 4)
      To be honest, I do prefer Google Home in general due to the integration of Google Account and Google Music (which also comes with Youtube red subscription)
      However, Amazon Alexa has some better feature than Google
      such as the integration of Xiao Mi Eco System

      Google is quite behind especially in Australia
      Many smart devices integrations are now available in US, but has been disabled in Australia

  • TommyGunAUS on 20/04/2018 - 17:06
