Be entertained
Whether you are playing and pausing your favorite movie, starting a playlist, or need a quick joke, you can ask Alexa and stream directly over Wi-Fi. Alexa also provides voice control for Amazon Video, Amazon Music, Pandora, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and more.
Voice control your smart home
Alexa works with devices such as lights, switches, thermostats, security cameras, and more from SmartThings, Insteon, Nest, ecobee, Arlo, Ring, and Wink. Dim the lights from the couch to watch a movie or change the temperature on your thermostat while reading in your favorite chair—all without lifting a finger.
Calling and Messaging
Make hands-free voice calls to almost any local number, message your contacts, or video call friends and family who have a Fire tablet, Echo Spot, Echo Show, or have installed the iOS or Android Alexa App. You can also instantly connect with family and friends, by asking Alexa to drop in on enabled Echo devices, or Fire tablets, when the tablet is in Show Mode. For example, you can drop in to ask what time dinner will be ready, see the baby's nursery, or check in with a close relative. Learn more
