Amazon ECHO Plus

IFTTT, Amazon Alexa

Product details

The Alexa app is not available in the Swiss App Store. Some features are limited or unavailable. Echo Plus connects to the cloud-based Alexa Voice Service to play music, make calls, set alarms and timers, check the weather and traffic, ask questions, and more. Additionally, you can set up and control compatible smart home devices with the built-in hub. Alexa can control your lights, thermostats, switches, and more. Set up compatible devices from Philips Hue, Osram, and others directly without a separate hub. Just ask Alexa to discover your connected devices. Request a song, artist, or genre from Amazon Music, Spotify, TuneIn, and more. With Multiroom Music, you can play music on your Echo devices in different rooms (available for Amazon Music, TuneIn, and coming soon for Spotify; Bluetooth is not supported). Echo can also play audiobooks, radio stations, news, and more. Make calls and send messages to anyone with an Echo device or the Alexa app. Or quickly connect with other Echo devices in your home using just your voice. Louder, more powerful speakers with Dolby technology fill the room with 360° sound, clear audio, and dynamic bass. With seven microphones, beamforming technology, and noise cancellation, Echo Plus hears you from any direction—even when music is playing. Alexa is constantly learning and gaining new features and skills. Just ask Alexa to dim the lights, call a taxi, order a pizza, and more.

  • Positiveeingängige Bedienung
  • Negativekaum besserer Klang als Echo

Es gibt gute Gründe, die für den Kauf eines Drittanbieter-Assistenten sprechen. Der wichtigste: Man bekommt in keinem Fall weniger als bei den Original-Lautsprechern von Google oder Amazon. Auch als Zweit- oder Drittassistent für andere Räume eignen sich die teils günstigeren Geräte...

Neben der zweiten Echo-Generation bringt Amazon auch eine Plus-Version seiner smarten Lautsprecher auf den Markt. Dieser gleicht in seiner Form dem ersten Echo, ist aber in ein schickes Aluminiumkleid gehüllt. Haptisch macht er durch den Metall-Unibody eine gleichsam edle wie auch haptisch hochwertige Figur...

Der Echo Plus ist das einzige Gerät mit integriertem Smarthome-Hub - so erkennt und steuert er bestimmte Lampen und Geräte direkt per Funk. Weil er zudem gut zuhört, viele Anschlüsse hat und brauchbar klingt, holt er mit Abstand den Testsieg.
