Amazon echo install

[Itsmcb]

With Prime day approaching (21 -22nd) I thought this might interest someone.
I recently installed an Echo for in my van and it's been working perfectly.

I used the usb power supply, Echo bracket and power lead listed below. (I already had the Echo at home)

Amazon product ASIN B07M6NYRXC
Amazon product ASIN B07TVNDY3P

Where does it get its signal from, WiFi , tethered to phone or what?

We've done the same with an old 2nd generation Dot - I just used sticky back velcro to attach it to the wall The 3rd generation ones are a bit heavier though so your bracket is probably a better idea for those.

We have an old phone we use as a hotspot (hopefully to be replaced with a proper mifi soon). If we're just away for the weekend and its not worth topping up the data SIM we tether it to a phone (use the same SSID & password on the phone as we use on the hotspot - then the Dot connects automatically).

Thank you for this post.
I’ve just ordered the 4th generation speaker, it’s £24.99 if you order by 12pm tomorrow but you have to order using Alexa

The fourth generation one is much bigger, I don't think it can be wall mounted. Also not sure if the power supply I linked to will work with it?

Will see when it arrives tomorrrow,
Hopefully we can Mackle something together and if it’s too big , my mum might be getting her 3rd gen one swapped

We've got an old original one in the van, they work straight off usb so easier to power up, and have also have a USB battery pack for listening outdoors

We use a Ultimate Ears BOOM 2 in the van its not got WiFi so link it to my phone using Bluetooth. It has a built in Li-on battery lasts about 5 days on a charge and its waterproof so good for outside with English weather. Use its big bother at home a Megablast that has WiFi.

Yup, the UE is our tool of choice as well. Great kit.

Alexa all working well. Hiding behind the boxing is an adapter that plugs into 12v cigarette lighter.

We have the exact same set up! I love Alexa for timers and feel lost without one in the van. Ours is connected to our motorhome WiFi!!
