How to pick a preferred Alexa speaker or speaker group – If you like, you can set an Echo device in a given room to automatically play music on an Alexa speaker group without having to tell Alexa which speaker group to use. For example, if you have an Echo speaker in the kitchen, you could set it so that when you say “Alexa, play music,” your tunes play on your “Upstairs” speaker group by default. You can set an Alexa speaker group as the “perferred speaker” in a given room. Ben Patterson/Foundry Once you’ve tapped a group, scroll down to the Speakers section, and tap Choose speakers, Follow the prompts, and you’ll wind up at a list of available Alexa-enabled speakers.

Otherwise, you’ll have to say the group name in your voice command: “Alexa, play music in the bedroom.” Made your choice? Tap Next, and you’re all set. To temporarily override the preferred speaker setting for an Echo device, just tell Alexa where you’d like your music to play (“Alexa, play Ciara on Ben’s Echo Dot”).

An original tall Echo, a new tall Echo with smart port (great quality powerftsound), Two Echo plus (one set up w a battery system so it’s a great travel speaker with sound as good as any portable unit I have heard) and a Dot second gen and four Dot third gen.

I have them spread around the house and it’s better than the $15k sound system and upscale ceiling speakers I built into the new house 25 yrs ago! They can work as one playing the same music on the “everywhere network” or play individual music in different rooms for the kids. It ties all the units together like an intercom as well!

This is no big deal as Amazon is always running deals on the Dot and you can find great deal if you buy two or bundle with bulbs and plugs. The Echo experiance when fully integrated into the home will change your life! You betcha it works with both Gen 2 and the Gen 3.

Even though the two 3rd gen Echo Dots were both on the same network, I kept getting Network Connectivity error. I could check one, but immediately the other would show an exclamation mark on Alexa’s app. The problem was a setting on my Wireless router.

I had “Set AP Enabled” to Off, but I had to change it to On. On allows client devices on my Wireless network to communicate with each other.

How do I get Alexa all over my house?

Pair Alexas for stereo and multiroom audio groups – If you’ve got two identical devices (or functionally identical – the same-generation Echo Dot, Echo Dot with Clock and Echo Kids are all interchangeable in this sense) you can pair them so that audio is divided into left and right channels, like a bona fide stereo system.
