Amazon has launched the all-new Echo Spot in India, making it the latest addition to its line-up of Alexa-enabled Echo devices. Echo Spot is a sleek new smart alarm clock, featuring a variety of custom-designed clock faces, colourful display options, and four newly-added alarm sounds. Combining style with functionality, Echo Spot’s compact and customisable display allows customers to set and view alarms, see the time, weather, or song titles at a glance, and experience vibrant sound with its directional speaker. Specifically designed to enhance the bedside table experience, the night mode option helps customers easily check the time on the screen mid-sleep.
Customers love asking Alexa for information—in fact, Alexa answers multiple requests every millisecond, with customers requesting Alexa’s help with weather updates, trivia, recipes, and general knowledge, among other things. They also turn to Alexa to assist them with setting reminders, alarms, timers, making lists, and more. Echo Spot’s eight custom-designed clock faces, new visual animations, and fun colours make it easy to see the responses to some of these requests at a glance. Moreover, customers can customise Echo Spot’s 2.83” touch-screen display to fit the aesthetic of their bedroom. They can choose from six different colour themes for display—orange, violet, magenta, lime, teal, and blue—or mix and match colours with a variety of clock faces.
Echo Spot can also be connected to compatible smart home products and used to set up Alexa Routines to help automate daily tasks with a single voice command. For example, one can set up a morning routine that gently wakes them up with music and gradual light from their compatible smart lights. Or, set an evening routine that automatically dims these lights at a pre-set time, turns on the TV, and plays their pre-selected movie/TV show. Customers can set up an Alexa Routine using their Alexa app by navigating to ‘More’, followed by ‘Routines’, and then selecting either a pre-set routine or creating a custom one. With Ultrasound Motion Detection available in Echo Spot, they can also create smart home routines to turn on compatible lights or play music when they enter the room
