    My 3rd gen just stopped working, I’m going to buy the 5th gen right now Amazon has them at 50% off. Great video

    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....

    To get any decent sound out of these smart devices, the best is to connect them with a cable to an external speaker system. (Not with Bluetooth, because sound quality will go downhill) .Amazon followed Google example to save a few dollars, and now there is no more 3.5 mm audio output connector.I will stay with Gen 4.

    good/helpful video. -i will point out that you refer to the ac plug(s) as “chargers” -which they are not; neither the 4th or 5th gen echos have an internal battery.

    • @TheFrenchGlow

      Great pt! They are the AC plugs and no battery including.

    Does echo dot5 support otbr? Does adding thread devices require an additional thread network?

    if anyone buys it for the sound then I'm going to sell them the Eiffel tower… I hate the way Amazon has made these cheap and what I mean is removing the 3.5 mm plug for speaker out to save a few bucks… That was one of the nicest features is so that you can have an inexpensive but terrific set of computer speakers and get great audio. Cheaper than Bluetooth an excellent way to hook it up. Taking away that 3.5 mm plug I say don't buy it… Find a fourth-generation

    Was there an opinion as to which actually sounds better?

      The 5th gen sounds better but its marginal. Bass response is improved but voice is about the same.

    "Hypothetically" is the key word, nobody wants to bother actually programming and testing and reporting on the features. Nowadays a company will sell you a "smart home" product that doesn't function the way you expect. It can set the temperature? How well does it do that. It can detect motion? How well does it do that. This is coming from someone who's been burned too many times by smart junk from google. My Xbox Kinect voice commands worked better than some of this stuff today.

    • @TheFrenchGlow
      @TheFrenchGlow  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have the kinect! And I livestream almost everyday testing these products live for over 3 years + how much we use it in real life. In this case, temperature is easy as it was already tested in their smart home sensor.. I'll share a link below. And you can set it temp if you have an alexa enabled thermostat but it won't be based on what's reading on the dot. Motion is a new feature that most will not use but for people like me who love the high tech apps, it's interesting to see where Amazon takes it.

      Sound quality.. The JBL pulse 5 will beat the echo 5. Usability other than sound quality, the echo 5 is way better and Alexa will add ai features in the next few weeks & months as of 5/21/23
