How to combine Alexa devices to fit your needs

2016-04-07
as it turns out some Alexa devices work together better than others knowing which pair works the best can come in handy if you've come to rely on Alexa but you have a big place to cover here are your options the $30 voice remote goes well with the original 180 dollar Amazon echo it also goes with the $90 Amazon dot the Amazon dot also pairs directly with one hundred and thirty dollar Amazon tap the two new members of the Alexa family connect directly to each other and complement each other strengths and weaknesses well with option number one you get the echos native speakers which are the best of the bunch and you expand its listening range by a lot with this thing which works really well we took these two two stories apart still works great option number two is also pretty appealing especially if you want that big listening range and want to save a little money this combo works really well if you really care about music since you can plug the dot into your own audio system and if you really don't care about music this thing is basically the echo with the speaker's chopped off but you still get the Lexus capabilities as a personal assistant and a smart home controller and the final combo the dot plus the tap the tap is the portable battery-powered member of the Alexa trio but it's not always listening you have to push this button to talk so if you want portability the taps the way to go and you can still have that always listening capability when you're back home by pairing the tap to the dock and you can connect the two via cable or via bluetooth so pick your favorite combo and I'll actually can easily transform into a whole home system
