There are a number of clever uses for your Amazon Echo device. One is to use Alexa Guard to listen for sounds like glass breaking, smoke alarms, or a carbon monoxide alarm. The Sound Detection setting can send you an alert if any of these sounds are heard. Echo’s Drop In setting can be used to turn on your camera or speaker from far away. Alexa Together is a paid service that can be used to check in on older relatives from afar. If you have smart locks, you can tell Alexa to lock your doors. Finally, you can use Alexa to find your cell phone if you’ve misplaced it.
Key Takeaways:
- The Drop In setting lets you turn on the camera or use the speaker from anywhere.
- The paid service Alexa Together can be used to check in on older relatives who live far away.
- If you have smart locks, you can tell Alexa to lock the doors.
