Why you should buy the Echo Dot and smart bulb bundle

The Amazon Echo Dot has been an industry-lauded smart speaker for years now. Featuring intuitive button controls on the top of the speaker, the main way folks will be controlling this bad boy is via voice commands. These prompts are handled by Alexa, Amazon’s own ecosystem assistant, allowing you to do things like stream music, get recipe help, monitor Amazon deliveries, control smart home devices, and so much more. 

As far as setup goes, you’ll just need to create an Amazon account (if you don’t already have one) to activate your Echo Dot. After connecting to Wi-Fi, you’ll be good to go! Speaking of which: the Sengled bulb that’s a part of this bundle is designed for plug-and-play operation too. 

With the Alexa steering the ship, you can change brightness levels  and colors through the app or voice commands. You can create custom schedules and automations that react along with other elements of your smart home. You can also expect up to 800 lumens, and can add additional Sengled bulbs to the Alexa app down the line.

We’re not exactly sure how long these Amazon deals are going to last, so it’s best to take advantage while you still can. Take home the Echo Dot (5th Gen) and Sengled Smart Color Bulb for only $27 while this promo lasts! And before you head out, be sure to check out some of the other Amazon Echo Prime Day deals and Philips Hue Prime Day deals.

The US government recently added foreign-made advanced robotic devices to the FCC’s Covered List. The announcement appeared focused on humanoids, robot dogs, and industrial machines, but an FCC spokesperson has confirmed to The Verge that robot vacuum cleaners are covered too.

Developed by GOKO, the consumer robotics brand of Robot++, the GOKO M6 is an industrial-grade 4WD AI-powered robotic lawn mower that brings more than a decade of industrial robotics expertise to residential lawn care.
