But how would you know the difference between the two variations of flashing red lights? Well, if you see both the top ring as well as the mic button on top of your Amazon device flashing red, that means the mic has been muted. It can happen if your Alexa device is failing to connect to the internet. There is one more reason why your Alexa might be flashing red. Pros: can always hear you, small but loud enough, great device support, clear when muted, activity can been seen from across the room, Bluetooth, 3.Alexa Red Ring – Lost Internet Connection The regular Echo Dot is so frequently discounted that paying the full £50 RRP seems like a bit of a rip-off and it’s the same for the Echo Dot with Clock, which has been discounted to £45 from £60 at least once since its launch just a few weeks ago. If you do, and want an Echo Dot with Clock, do yourself a favour and don’t buy it at full price. Whether you want a smart speaker in the bedroom is another matter and comes down to whether you trust Amazon. Its small footprint, surprisingly good sound, lack of camera and attractive design make it a winner for the bedroom. Simply adding a clock to the side is one of those small but mighty changes that has made Echo Dot with Clock my new favourite bedside alarm clock, displacing the Echo Show 5. The Amazon Echo Dot with Clock has an RRP of £59.99 and is only available in sandstone (white).įor comparison, the Echo Dot without clock costs £49.99, Google’s second-generation Nest Mini costs £49 and the Echo Show 5 costs £79.99.īut note all these products are the RRPs, and you will find lower prices without too much searching. Routines are useful too if you have smart home equipment, being able to trigger groups of lights and other bits when you wake up or go to sleep with a single command. Setting alarms via voice is easy, but you can do it in the Alexa app too, with recurring options for daily, weekly, by weekday or weekend. If you want to be woken up by the Grand Tour trio you can, or chants of “Come on City” if you’re a Manchester City fan.
You can set various different tones, volumes and even ascending volumes for alarms. At night I found the screen was still quite bright, even at level zero, but it wasn’t enough to keep me up and made seeing the time at a glance in the middle of night easy. You can manually adjust the brightness, via voice or the app, or set it to automatically adjust depending on ambient light.
Two dots next to the clock show pending timers or that an alarm has been set. The LED screen shines white through the mesh at the front of the Dot showing the time, your alarms, timers or the outside temperature. Timers at-a-glance are handy too, but Echo Shows with screens are better at handling multiple timers at once.
