Depending on the type of Echo device you added, you may see another setup screen. For example, the setup for an Echo Dot will ask if you want to connect an external speaker. Choose the appropriate.
Sarah Tew/CNETThe may be the hottest smart speaker right now, but if you have an existing Sonos system you don't need to spend $200 to control your system with your voice.Now anyone with a Sonos and an Amazon Echo can control their music collection by simply speaking into thin air. 'Alexa, play The Pixies in the living room,' for example, will cause your Sonos speaker in there to start belting out 'Bone Machine.' Technically, Sonos is calling the capability a, but if you have an Echo device you can do it now.
What Is the Amazon Echo?Simply put, the Echo is a voice-controlled virtual assistant that lets you control smarthome devices, check the weather, play music, get news updates, and more.RELATED:There are a handful of different Echo models that you can choose from. The main Echo is the which comes with a decent speaker for the price. There’s also the cheaper on the lower end (which comes with laptop-quality sound in a smaller package), and on the higher end is the, which has a and a slightly better speaker than the $99 model. You can also get Echos that have screens on them, like the and.Before we set the Echo up and play around with it, though, let’s take a quick tour of the physical device and its buttons. In this guide, we’ll be setting up the regular Echo model, but setting any of them works pretty much the same.As far as physical manipulation goes, there are three things on the Echo you can mess with: the microphone button (which toggles the listening feature on and off), the action button (which, when tapped, summons Alexa without having to say anything), and the volume buttons. On the Echo Plus (and the previous-generation Echos) there’s a volume ring around the edge, rather than volume buttons.RELATED:Other than the buttons, there’s also an audio-out port on all the latest Echo devices (next to the power port at the bottom) so that you can plug a more-powerful speaker into them.With the brief overview of the physical side of things out of the way, let’s take a look at how to set up your Echo.
Setting Up Your EchoTo help minimize Alexa belting out instructions at you, the first step (before you even unpack and plug the Echo in) is to grab the Amazon Alexa app for your phone or tablet (/). Once you have the app downloaded, hold off on launching it right now.Plug in your Amazon Echo.
The indicator ring around the top will flash blue then switch to a rotating orange color (as shown above). This indicates it’s ready to be configured. If you miss this window and it starts complaining (and the ring turns purple), hold down the action button (the button opposite the mute button) for about five seconds until the ring turns orange again.Once the Echo is fully powered up and in the orange configuration mode, pull out your smartphone and open up the Wi-Fi settings.
Like many smarthome products, the Echo requires you to connect directly to it during the configuration process in order to set it up.As shown above, select the Echo’s Wi-Fi connection, which will be something like “Amazon-53N” or some other number and letter combo, and connect to it.Then, you can launch the Alexa app to begin the setup and you should see this screen:Select which type of Echo you’re setting up. There is one command we want you to know and have down pat, though: “Alexa, stop.” At some point you’re going to ask Alexa to do something that leads to a lot of chatter or noise and you’ll definitely want a way to quiet things down. It’s also how you get music to stop playing, and how to stop when they go off.
Things You Can DoNow that you know how to summon Alexa and put the brakes on whatever racket she might unleash, let’s take a look at some of the fun things you can do with Alexa to get you started. Play MusicAlthough playing music through a speaker is the least futuristic use of the Echo unit, it is one of the most fun, and you’ll likely find yourself using it fairly often. By default, your Amazon Echo is tapped into your Amazon Prime account and gives you access to both the music you’ve purchased through Amazon as well as the vast library of free Prime music. You can also or Pandora account and use that instead, as well as. Just say something like:Alexa, play music genreAlexa, play your playlist nameAlexa, play bandAlexa, play song by bandAlexa, play station on streaming serviceAlexa, what’s playing?You can issue commands like “Alexa, play Christmas music” and Alexa will spin up a Christmas music playlist.
Ever wondered what 20,000 video game cars driving the same track would look like?

The result is hypnotic.In the video, below, (thanks, ) we see the cars flow across the track like water, crashing over structures like waves and spilling out into every direction.It's the work of L4Bomb4, who spent half a year lifting replays from TrackMania United Forever and TrackMania Nations Forever and rendering them out onto the same track.

Make Inquiries, Get Conversions, and Ask TriviaJust behind music playback, the most popular thing around the office is asking Alexa questions. You can query Alexa on a broad range of topics and she’ll either give you a direct response or, if the inquiry is not part of her database, she’ll (just like Siri) give you the search results for what you asked about. Here are a few of the useful things you can ask Alexa:Alexa, what’s the weather like? (If you want weather outside your zip code, just add “in city name”)Alexa, what’s the news today?Alexa, what is 295 x 5?Alexa, what time is it in city/state/country?Alexa, Wikipedia topic (you’ll get a brief summary and then a link to the full Wikipedia entry in then Alexa app)Alexa, how do you spell word?Alexa, how many cups are in a gallon? (This, and other straight forward conversion questions, are easy for Alexa)Alexa, who won the 1979 Super Bowl? (this, and other trivia questions with a clear answer, usually work quite well) Make Shopping and To-Do ListsMusic playback is great (and as we noted the audio quality is very high) and asking Alexa trivia questions is fun, but if you’re productivity-minded, the is handy. You can use the following simple commands to create lists and add things to those lists:Alexa, create a new list.Alexa, add item to my shopping list.Alexa, read my shopping list.While it’s very convenient to have Alexa read the lists to you, don’t worry, as the lists are also transcribed for you in the Alexa app.
Every item you add is stored in the app, as seen above, so you can reference it while you’re running errands.
