Day 1

Out of the packaging and looking sleek. 

First challenge, where to sit her? Cos she is a her you know. Does it matter? What if I want to talk to her when I am in another room, omg do I need to get more Alexas or Echo Dots?

Well let’s see how we go with this one first. Here on the dining room table is fine for now.

Have already attached the wireless plugs to the living room lamps and downloaded the app for them which has proved really successful in turning the lights on and off as a group, so going to bed is a snip, or snaap.

Now to connect up to Alexa so we can do what the Boy bought it for me for, to say “bedtime” and all lights out.

Alexa App downloaded, apparently add a skill, ok can do that. Done! Now to connect wifi plugs to Alexa – oh shit! What was the password for the wifi plugs app…

Damn …I’ll come back to that. 

Try something “Alexa what is the weather like in San Francisco.” “Alexa says…”

Ooh that is a really good English accent, nice elocution, bit of a sexy voice, feels odd talking to her, wonder if I can change that?

“Alexa is there another voice option for you?” ” sorry I didn’t understand what you asked”

Hmm.
