Hi Everyone,

Big price drop, lowest its been i believe. Got to be quick though; ends in a few hours.

Doesn't look like they currently have stock, but will ship in 7-14 Days.

I my self have purchased the Amazon Dot which i will couple with my portable speaker, but if you dont have a dedicated speaker this may be a good deal.

Ends Midnight US time, so not long to go.

    Must be because Google Home is out.

      Possibly. I predict Amazon's echos price will drop considerably at Christmas time when the big fight for smart assistants heats up. Looking at reviews of both it looks like Google Home is a better product, but Echo is a mature product that has lots of support from other companies. I hope the same happens to google home.

      Wont be long till Microsoft/Apple start getting involved either……

    Don't you have to use this with a VPN as it will not work in Australia?

    • jackwoz on 08/11/2016 - 11:32

      I dont believe so, as its the first time ive heard about having to use a VPN to get it to work. Can someone with an echo comment?

      • XeKToReX on 08/11/2016 - 11:36

        I didn't, but I only really use it for home automation.

        • jackwoz on 08/11/2016 - 11:39

          Was it tricky to set up? Did you have to use request maker to set time zones etc..?

        • XeKToReX on 08/11/2016 - 11:39

          @jackwoz: Haven't really bothered with localisation, just plugged it in, added skills and started using them.

        • jackwoz on 08/11/2016 - 12:41

          @XeKToReX: Im interested to know, what home automation do you use with the echo?

          @jackwoz: HomeSeer, Harmony and LiFX mainly!

      • zuccs on 08/11/2016 - 13:55

        Even easier, you can just add your postcode as somewhere in Guam (96910) which matches the Aussie east coast timezone.

        • jackwoz on 08/11/2016 - 13:57

          Any idea what i would type in for Perth?

        • cart on 08/11/2016 - 15:19

          @jackwoz: P E R T H

          (Indonesia, Philippines I guess)

        • jackwoz on 08/11/2016 - 15:44

          @cart: Umm, im guessing that i need to pick somewhere that is US based

          @jackwoz: for Perth you would put in the Virgin Islands in the US.

        • travs on 12/11/2016 - 19:30

          Not always, as Guam doesn't support DST, which puts it off this time of year for most of Australia. Works for Queensland though.

      I was looking at this a few weeks ago. Alexa voice thing doesn't work in Australia.

      • XeKToReX on 08/11/2016 - 11:36

        Yep, does.

        • Duc88 on 08/11/2016 - 11:42

          It works here?

          Is there an Echo here :)

        • DRDGlobal on 08/11/2016 - 16:42

          @Ducatista: Works perfectly here.

      • zuccs on 08/11/2016 - 13:54

        Had it for 6+ months. Works great here.

        • cheapgeek on 08/11/2016 - 14:01

          works for me too!

    It has actually gone down to $128 a couple of months ago, that's when I got mine. It was posted here on ozbargain too. Now i have an Echo and a few Dots at home. But just like what was said above it might go down in price closer to Christmas or even US' Black Friday sale.

    • kudoz on 08/11/2016 - 11:48

      Do you find much difference in the responsiveness of the Dots vs the full Echo?

      • jackwoz on 08/11/2016 - 11:56

        Same microphones and internals, just no speaker. Having said this im not sure what changes were made between the gen 1 Dot and gen 2

      • gerryg on 08/11/2016 - 11:57
        +1

        I dont really notice a lag on the Dot's response time. I think they have the same hardware as the Echos.only difference really is missing speakers on the Dots.

    Has anyone noticed that these things are being used on The Block to do telstra voice automation?

    • XeKToReX on 08/11/2016 - 12:05

      Yeh bit of discussion about it on Whirlpool, noone has any real idea whats going on though

  • travs on 08/11/2016 - 12:35

    I've got both echo and the Dots. Get the dot; same capabilities, more flexibility.

    • cart on 08/11/2016 - 15:21

      Does dot work without echo?

      • XeKToReX on 08/11/2016 - 17:33
        +2

        Yep, it's just an echo without the bigger speaker.

        • cart on 09/11/2016 - 07:39

          Thanks.

  • rbc3585 on 08/11/2016 - 13:23

    Does anyone know if you can get these to work with localised news sources yet?

    • travs on 12/11/2016 - 19:25

      Not that I've seen, sadly.
