I have the 4 gen dot clock and you can hit it to snooze an alarm so I guess that you can just beat on the new one because it has more features. Thanks for all your great info and the skits at the end of each vid are hilarious. Bless you and your great family!
Hey! The main problem I have with Echo Dot 3 with Clock on my night stand is that even with the lowest brightness setting it is too bright at night. I'm curious if this has been solved with the Echo Dot 5 with Clock?
I haven't felt the need to have a stereo system since I was in my twenties. Now if I want to hear music it's on my phone or other devices. So the echo Dot 5th gen is perfect for me. I'll be using my echo Dot and my TVs for my stereo system when I want to play music in the house
The Echo dot 4 is getting the same EERO upgrade in the coming months, via a software update. So if you’re buying the 5 for that alone and u have a dot 4… you don’t have to.
Great that Amazon continues to push the hardware technology, but the Alexa App could use some love too. I've been suggesting, every chance I get to have the app display the room temperature on the cards (room), that contain an echo device or sensor that tracks the temperature. Still nothing yet!
Whole reason I got a 4th gen was because of the zigbee hub. Got a fantastic deal on smart lights that whose service was discontinued by the manufacturer and this was a way to make them work.
like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....
The improvements are noticeable, but is it worth $25 more? I'd wait a year for the price to drop $25-$50, and stick with the 4th gen. Even with the "sound improvement", it doesn't even compare to the Echo counterparts.
I decided to research some of those voice recognition devices and concluded that despite the hype the most useful thing thing they can do is switch on and off the lights, TV and oven! All things I can do without difficulty with my thumb and index finger... 😁
I bought 2 3rd gen dots, was $40 new for the pair, I put them both in bedroom on each nightstand, is nice to say play a certain type music and no having to put songs on USB stick. Is only reason I bought them and is much better with 2 in stereo. Gets too confusing with certain light bulbs or celing fan working also with Alexa.
Echo dot 4 is getting the same eero upgrade in the coming months, via a software update. So if you’re buying the 5 for that alone and u have a dot 4… you don’t have to
The feature upgrades are gimmicky to me. Thnx for covering. But I think for people who doesn't own any gen of dot or echo, obviously go with the most current. Thnx for the review dude. These help so much😀🖖
We've been using Alexa since the very first Echo was released (the old tall black can). That Echo still lives in our kitchen and we have an Echo Dot in every room. I'm wondering whether you've had trouble getting the correct Echo to respond. We have two in adjacent bedrooms, and I find that when I ask the one in my bedroom to turn on the lights, Alexa next door will give me a lot of back talk about how she just doesn't know what that means and where I can go to fix it. Another "feature" I wish I could turn off is what I call the "by the way" mode. Often when I give a simple request or command, I get a longwinded "by the way, you can. . ." I find myself saying "Alexa, shut up" a lot. Yesterday, I was standing between the bedrooms yelling for Alexa to shut up while she was giving me a lot of unwanted instructions. One of them responded, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to do that on this device." LOL! "I'm talking and I can't shut up!"
Im pretty happy with my 3. gen, but the person detection sounds pretty cool so maybe I’m going to upgrade on the next Prime day. How well does it work for you? Or do you recommend a motion detector ?
"Daddy's Home!" But seriously, the whole point of smart plugs was to save power. They can do this by shutting them off when no motion is detected. Also, you don't have to buy 4 devices just to have a nightlight: two Flexs , one for the sensor and another for the nightlight. As well, they can act as a security sensor.
You'd be better off with a motion sensor. It seems to have a hardwired time setting of 30 minutes between activations. May work well if you just want to turn off a forgotten light, but don't rely on it for anything near real time activation.
how are the mikes ? my eco 3 went from hearing me from another room to having to yell sometimes from 2 meters away, a lot are complaining about this which is likely to be an intentional downgrade.
Question - On the fifth gen can you have it NOT display the songs being played? In other words I just want the CLOCK displayed constantly regardless of what Alexa is doing. For instance if I want white noise played throughout the night I don't want that scrolling across the screen all night. I want the clock displayed.
It usually only scrolls for a few seconds then stops. On occasion it keeps scrolling. If this happens then just ask it the time. This will interrupt the scrolling.
@@CyberMedics Sounds like a technical oversight to me with a "work-around" because of course no one would ever not want the display on..lol I think I hear there was a way to dim it to no display but I can't recall.
@@CyberMedics Hi ok thanks. I finally got working and the adaptive brightness is fine. In other words, it dims enough that it's not at all intrusive at night. Also the scrolling only occurs one or two cycles then it reverts back to the steady clock unless whatever action the dot is doing changes. Then it displays that change, again for a a cycle and then back to clock
Buy a cheap on sale Flex for the output plug. It's convenient and hangs unobtrusively from a receptacle. Of course, now the old dots are as cheap. A tip: When you are listening to music on other echo speakers, you can issue the Flex commands by another name (Amazon or Hey Santa) so the volume won't reduce as it takes the load off the other, active, music playing echo speaker. It makes for an uninterupted listening experience. It's great to buy the Cube and use the remote when you are feeling shy or ignored by Alexa because she cunt hear you, Alexa, Stop! ALEXA STOP! as the remote can hear you over the roar of music in the room. You can also go to the next song, and adjust the volume.
@@mikemotorbike4283 The poit is that a dot 3 listen better than a Flex, I don't need it to be on the wall and I connect it to better sound quality speakers using the output jack. Same on my first gen Echo Show 8, I connect it to better studio speckers toguether with my desktop computer output so I get thogueter best soud quality on alexa (echo show and computer), on the 2nd gen Echo show there is no output jack.
You can dim or increase from 1 to 10. Also, the LED at the bottom was a concern for me. Neither of these turned out to be a thing. At night, the LED just disappeared and the clock wasn't obtrusive at all for me. I have it set on number 4.
Just got the 5th gen + clock today to replace my 3rd gen. The new features on it are kinda nifty, the sound is obviously better, and I even got 2 free lightbulbs with it for the Black Friday price, not bad. I'm kinda fascinated by the display on it, can't wait to see a teardown somewhere. I do agree it's a little hard to read the display from afar, so I'm not totally sure if I'm going to replace my big red LED clock with it or just use this near my desk. I'll have to see if playing with the brightness helps at all. I'm not a constant music player on it, if I was I'd say getting some halfway decent external speakers and plugging them into my 3rd gen would be the way to go, but that also would take a lot more room.
Hey guys, I need your help. Is there a way to enable/disable multiple routines simultaneously in the Alexa App? It drives me nuts to disable them one at a time.
I didn’t know the echo 4th gen had a temperature sensor… I’m in the uk and the only routine I can get with my echo dot 4th (clock and non clock) is the person detection. Do we have different routines over here??
i like the mounting options of the 3rd gen . to me anyway my 3rd gen is almost as good as my 4th gen . my gen 3 picks up my voice better for sure . I have a 4th gen in the living room and sometimes my 3rd gen all the way in my bedroom picks me up instead . also I like the 3.5 mm jack . probably gonna pass on gen 5 . at home we have a second gen echo ,three third gen dots and one 4th gen dot lights switches even put a relay in side my ceiling fan to voice control fan speeds .I love the voice control but I'm gonna keep at least a few with the 3.5mm jack.I use the music feature on it too much . I even set up a 3rd gen inside our maintenance workshop at work and the guys love it. I use it for music and quick mathematics it makes conversion quick and easy like "what is 5/8 in a percentage" or "what is 3 inches in mm" . it helps to have a practical use besides music for the bosses to keep happy
You are right, the echo 4th gen sound is still so much better but the price is also little higher. echo 5th and echo 4 th gen are both have built in temperature sensor and that’s important for my need. The new echo 5th is the price for me because i need more than one, and I would be placed them in the smaller room. Can echo dot 5th and echo 4th gen sound sound march together? Thank for your posting.
so your saying the fifth generation echo dot with time can be blurry ? as in you might want to stick with fourth generation echo dot for that reason ?. i kinda don’t understand ! i would love to try them out , if it has one flaw in the device in the current generation Alexa echo dot i think i could get away with it !
Thank you this helped me because i listen to music on the echo dot 3rd gen and it’s too loud… for bedtime plus not as clear and there are times the music stops
I have 4th gen Dot and it is great. I think feature addons in 5th gen are incredible. Temperature se sor, slightly better sound and better display are gamechangers actually. But, man sound quality of Homepod Mini is sensational. Incomparable.
We tried the last Gen dot with clock in our bedroom but the volume was wonky, at the lowest setting it was still very loud when we used any sleep sounds. We swapped it out for a 5in show and that was great, but the shows screen brightness won't adjust low enough, the volume is perfect though. I picked up a Show 15 and then moved a Show 8 into the bedroom and it sounds great but the bigger screen is brighter still even at 7-8% brightness level... I do enjoy all the functionality of my Amazon assistants especially when they drop in price during Prime Days!
According to Amazon's page for this; it does NOT have a built in thermostat. But why on friggin earth did they remove the AUX? To get it bigger battery and camera? :/ Edit: As much clearer the Dot 5 is compared to Dot 3, the dot makes Alexa sound... more like Alexa. We got too used to that robotic voice haha. AND THE PRICE!!!
Unrelated to this video, we have a lamp in our foyer that turns on with a kasa smart outlet on a schedule for the evening and early morning, but I would also like it to kick on automatically if the light level in the foyer drops during the day (very overcast day or something like that). Any ideas?
Nice Video! What kind of Speakerstands do you have for the Yamaha HS Studio speakers at your Desk? I'm just renovating my Gaming Room and have the HS7 Speakers. Just looking for a wall or desk mount for these.

same here, was looking for a new alarm clock but ended up on an amazon store page for one of these.
The new display is pretty cool in this 5th gen smart speaker - love the portable size as well.
I’m sure you do
I just bought the 5th gen for my dorm room, and I got to say, this is lovely smart speaker (consider it is the first one I've ever bought 😂)
The 5th had great sound even at loud volumes, and its a nifty little device - when on sale it's a no brainer to get it.
isn't 4 better for voice and audiobooks?
Thanks for using techno music, it makes it easier to know the difference. I was going to get the 5th but now i’m more thinking to go with the 4th.
3.5mm jack omission is a bad bad idea. So many of us use it as voice-enabled access to our existing sound system. So for me at least its a no go.
Exactly!
Yeah me too

I haven't felt the need to have a stereo system since I was in my twenties. Now if I want to hear music it's on my phone or other devices. So the echo Dot 5th gen is perfect for me. I'll be using my echo Dot and my TVs for my stereo system when I want to play music in the house
And no mount on the bottom.
Such a pretty and competent Echo product it is! I think I am going to try it.
I love the sound vs my old dot. Definite upgrade. However, the EERO extender was my reason for buying. It's awesome for that reason alone.
QQ, does the echo dot support eero mesh on 5GHz band?

Probably coming with the next gen
Well, the 5th Gen device is definitely an upgrade in terms of audio quality. Also, Amazon is designing the processors quite well for these devices.

The light at the bottom of the 5th gen (white) is slightly brighter than the 4th gen(black).
Can it be set up to stop the alarm by tapping the the top, or does it just snooze it? I want to be able to cancel the alarm without speaking.
I'm looking to ceiling mount these. Can the display be inverted?
My 4th Gen doesnt seem to have a temperature sensor. Anyone else have that problem or am I missing something here?
Do you have the dot or the regular one?
Double the base is technically 3db. 3db is "just" detectable.
Does echo dot5 support otbr? Does adding thread devices require an additional thread network?
I have 4th gen Dot and it is great. I think feature addons in 5th gen are incredible. Temperature se sor, slightly better sound and better display are gamechangers actually. But, man sound quality of Homepod Mini is sensational. Incomparable.
The 4th gen shows the alarm time too for a few seconds when its set.
This one is the latest generation? One feed back different sizes shapes and colours .for next generation.
so if you use the third gen with your own speakers, than it is the best option of all three

Unrelated to this video, we have a lamp in our foyer that turns on with a kasa smart outlet on a schedule for the evening and early morning, but I would also like it to kick on automatically if the light level in the foyer drops during the day (very overcast day or something like that). Any ideas?
Could this be used with the iPhone?
Why is that device's that I've had for long time periodically show up as a new device in the Alexa app?
I bought the larger version 4 dot and hate the Alexa interface . The sound is great, but my wife cannot control the lights anymore...
thanks for all the holiday pricing hacks my man
Nice Video! What kind of Speakerstands do you have for the Yamaha HS Studio speakers at your Desk? I'm just renovating my Gaming Room and have the HS7 Speakers. Just looking for a wall or desk mount for these.
It's a shame that it's not possible to incorporate the visual countdown timer of the Echo Dot, into a routine.
The Echo Dot 4 does NOT have a temperature sensor.
I just purchased my Alexa today and it’s not responding, what do I do ?
Well i dont have any alexa or any kind of device that matches with it.But should i really buy one?
