Today I connected my Google Calendar to my Echo device, using my wife’s Amazon Prime Account. I was impressed they allowed me this cross company, and cross-account connectivity. We only pay for one Prime Account which we LOVE.
I use our Echo constantly. (“Alexa, what’s the weather today?” – “Alexa, tell a joke!” – “Alexa, put paper towels on the shopping list.” – “Alexa, play some Beatles.” – “Alexa, did the Lakers lose again?”)
Today I also received a shipment from Amazon that contained my first Dash Button. One press orders a particular protein bar I reorder frequently. I found several things interesting about the Dash Button setup:
- It used my cell phone to register itself, not a computer.
- Instructed, “Press and Hold” it found my WiFi signal.
- The built-in button battery never(?) needs recharging or replacement.
- Then it requested I turn on my phone’s Bluetooth.
- It asked for my WiFi password, then stored it so future button setup will be quicker.
- It introduced me to “Amazon Coins” which I suspect will eventually challenge Bitcoin.
Today my house became more connected. If anyone has comments or good examples of a Connected Veterinary Practice, please post below or Login.
