The description says the dot3 will control smart LED lights which it can, but not without the addition of a smart hub which costs more than the Alexa its self. Overall I am happy with the dot3 but would have liked knowing ahead of time that an additional hub would be required. The only workaround for this I found is to purchase bulbs that don't need a hub (roughly $24 per bulb) or buy the $150 Alexa with zigbee built in.

I am not really happy with my Echo Dot. When I ask Alexa to play my radio station she does however it turns it off soon after. Also when I request to stream a particular artists music at night, the music becomes loud and then very low throughout the night. Not sure what’s wrong with device.

A lot of issues with playing music on Spotify with the new echo dot. It's a constant battle with it. My computer sees everything. My phone sees everything, but the dot, my phone and spotify don't want to play well together. It appears that it is a known issue but no easy fix.

At anything but a low volume level the speaker rattles and sounds crackly, like old blown out car speakers. My older generation echo sounds way better. I got it on as a deal on Prime Day and now I know why it was priced so low.

I love the echo dot and use of Alexa. I do not however think it should use so much data. I connected it to my hotspot that has 30gb data. This used 15% of that data within 2hrs while it wasnt even being used!!

Love these things, have them in every room. Sadly the last two I bought have absolutely horrible sound quality, very distorted and rattles like the speaker is loose. The integration with my other devices make the functionality pretty great overall.

Very good product. Was easy to set up and connect almost everything. It’s not compatible with my cameras but that’s why only 3 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ Otherwise I would of gave higher if it was compatible with at least one camera. Very good speech recognition tho. My two year old granddaughter loves it and Alexa understands her sometimes when I don’t and plays her songs. She’s so smart.

I don't like the fact that it automatically imports all your contacts. I think that could have been avoided making a better user interface from the app. I got this Echo dot free but I don't think I even want to take it out the box. It sounds like a hassle. I can see why people may not like the speaker sound. However, speaker sound is more of a personal preference and it can vary from person to person.

We went out shopping and before leaving we turned off everything in the house. We had not used Echo Dot in several days. When we returned the Echo Dot was playing Christmas Music. Weird. Otherwise we like all the features and it works great. Can't wait until it starts playing music in the middle of the night. LOL

My echo was great for the first 3 months. After that, it stopped turning on. It would do the loading circle as usual, but then it would turn red and Alexa would say ‘sorry, im having trouble understanding right now’. Pretty frustrating that I had to spend $40 on an echo that only worked for three months
