You just need to buy the Dot and have an Amazon account. You can even now use Alexa to make calls to phone numbers in the US, Canada, Mexico, and the UK. The Dot has a whole host of ‘skills’ which you can think of as separate apps and things it can do for you, from playing games to controlling other tech to waking you up in the morning. You’d just need to say “Alexa, turn off the bulb.” So let’s say you have a Philips Hue lightbulb, for example, the Dot can control that too. Thanks to smart home tech all connecting up, you can also use your Dot to control other devices that you might have in your home. So you can ask the Dot’s voice assistant, Alexa, to answer questions about the time, general knowledge, traffic, what the weather is going to be like and everything else that might help your day run a bit smoother. We’re not at the stage where our tech can physically help us run our homes, but it can do everything else. Think of the Amazon Echo Dot as your own personal assistant.

Amazon lifted the lid on a brand new next-generation Echo Dot in 2018, which sounds and looks better.
