Amazon echo dot
Perhaps this should be in ATC. And to those of you, that already have one, this is old news. But for us. this thing is really great, kind of like the old star treks. Money well spent in my opinion....

You might want to try the Amazon Tap too. We have a Dot for inside the trailer and it is blue-toothed into the trailer stereo for good music. The Tap is a better sounding unit and we use it outside for music, weather, news, etc.
We do have a hot spot with smart lights and outlets so with the tap and dot we can voice control a lot of things in the trailer. I'm now figuring out a way to install a smart thermostat so we can say "Alexa, it's too cold" and have the heater come on. The smart ones want AC voltage.
None of this is "needed" but I'm a geek and blinking little gadgets are fun to me. One word to the wise though, never rely solely on automation devices. Always make sure that you can also control manually.
