Amazon Echo is a smart speaker that works with voice commands to help you manage your home and get things done. You can get it in many forms including the Echo Dot, Echo Show, and many more.
Echo is used to answer questions, play music, and control smart devices within your home. It can also be used to track your health and get the latest news from your favorite social networks.
How to sync contacts and Alexa
There are many different ways to connect your Amazon Echo with your contacts. You can even send messages to them. The key is to synchronize your contact information with the Alexa app on your phone so that you can receive notifications when someone messages you on your Echo.
To make calls, use your echo
Alexa can call any number that's synced up with the app. This includes landlines and mobile numbers. This is a useful feature to let a friend, relative or neighbor know that you are late or need to update them.
Drop in
It is easy to visit an Echo device located in a different area. Additionally, you can add anyone from the household to your "drop by" contacts list. This allows you, for example, to check in on an elderly parent's condition or follow-up with your pet.
By going to Settings > Communications, flipping the toggle next "Allow Drop in" to enable Drop-In on your Echo. Next, tap "Drop into" and then say the name you'd like to speak to.
Set up a routine
A Routine is a group of commands you can trigger by saying, "Alexa, do X." For each day of the week, you can create one. These routines are useful for tasks such as turning on lights or playing music, and bringing up the weather forecast.
Creating a routine is free and simple. You can download the skills, connect them to Alexa and get started.
Use your echo to make orders
Amazon Prime customers can use their Echo to make quick, efficient purchases. You can order items using 1-Click ordering.
Ask for the weather and news
When your Echo is paired to a smart screen, you can get the latest weather reports or news from your favorite broadcasters. It includes both the local forecast and national news from broadcasters.
You can also view a variety of streaming video sites. Echo Show allows you to order YouTube videos or audio files. You can even ask for specific songs from playlists or radio stations.
Turn off the song id!
If your Amazon Echo can't play the song that you want, it might be because Alexa hasn't got access to it. This can be fixed by looking at your account settings and checking your music service connections.

When making a grocery shopping list, it is essential to keep it simple. Don't list every thing you eat daily. This will make your grocery list too complicated. You can find the ingredients that you use often and add them into your list. If you like something new, try adding it!
Knowing the recipes you like to cook can help you save some time. Many online recipe databases allow you to search for ingredients and print the recipe. Another option is to take a screenshot of the ingredient listing and add it to Evernote. This will allow you to easily find it later.
