I am not sure how multiple Alexa specific devices will respond that to that chicken command, but it could be hilarious like Justin said. We have multiple Echo Dots setup throughout our home and they used to respond like thetechguru said about Google units all at once, but they had an update and now only one responds, even if you are between two units. If our rural internet has connectivity issues, and you request something, then they all blurt out together they are having internet trouble. Alexa has a fairly new skill called blueprints, which allow you to create your own custom responses from Alexa. I created several, and they are easy, and are published usually fast, the same evening. I created one,Who is the greatest wife in the world? She answers that she checked all thu history and Steve’s wife is the best. Artamus questions her, who is your favorite robot? She responds, I have been listening to Artamus, the autobot, and he is very interesting, and I would like to know better. It is a fun skill.

Conversation one looks interesting as it seems to allow you to integrate with Alexa google IBM etc https://conversation.one/demo/

edit: looks like these guys went bust.  Probably sued by Amazon Google and IBM :-)

anyone used the Alexa Echo Auto for cars? It is $25 CAD on Amazon, 8 microphones and Bluetooth or Aux connection I believe,  I figured it maybe small and compact enough to add a level of intelligence to a robot.

@Nink. Thanks for the heads up. I've asked Santa to put one in my stocking. Looks like useful fun.

out of stock in Canada now :-(

@Nink, there’s also the echo dot for those willing to hack. It runs off a 12V supply, so it would likely work with a 11.1V or 12V battery (maybe even a lower voltage). The speaker could be removed or replaced with a smaller one. I’m curious now, going to open mine up today. I’ll post some pics.

please do.  The wife made me unplug all mine so my echo dot is sitting idle.  No OK Google, no Alexa, no hey Siri.  she is sure they are spying on us.  I haven't told her the thermostat has Alexa in it  shhhhh.

Imagine the bandwidth usage if they were transmitting audio 24/7? Haha - ISPs would hate us

I have Alexa in every room. I converted my house to 100% smart a few years ago. Every switch or every bulb. The only switch that isn’t automated is the upstairs bathroom. Motion detect smart switches everywhere else to.

I love it. I have my Alexas set to respond to Echo though. I got sick of saying Alexa.

Even my Land Rover has an Alexa app. I just tell her to start the car or open the trunk and it’s done.

but for robots? Not sure what it could do. I can ask her to start the vacuum. But that’s about it. What ideas do you have for a robot that Alexa could do?
