You will have the flexibility to plug-in accessories such as a night light, motion sensor, or a smart clock.

There are several places where you can place your Echo Flex, if there is an outlet, you can plug it in.The simple explanation is that we won’t be able to use the Echo Flex for several functions that the Echo Dots support. Trying to set it up via the usual methods of saying “Alexa, connect Bluetooth” resulted in it instantly replying there was nothing available to connect, clearly without checking.

You could plug it in by the front door and get it to welcome you home by hitting the lights and playing your favourite music, for example. It does everything any other Echo speaker can do but with significantly weaker sound quality, thanks to its teeny-tiny 0. We can get the same features, greater connectivity, good compatibility, and speakers with the Echo Dot.Playing music on it is suitably painful, although no more so than the quality from the second-generation Echo Dot, which is quite impressive when you think about it. It’s fine for voice commands, with sound quality similar to old clock radios but anything more advanced will require an upgrade. An investment in an alternative that should suit us as well as the Echo Flex would be a more beneficial option.
