Dr. Dot. The daily five minute skill devotion. For everyone who's simply dotting about Alexa.
Hey guys, today we're going to revisit two things that we covered a while ago but that are really useful. The first is asking the A-lady for getting started. Let me get started. Or for a tutorial, let's ask her for the tutorial.
It's the same thing. Uh, give me a tutorial. Okay, here are a few things to try on your device. I can help you manage your schedule and remind you about upcoming events.
Just link your Google, Microsoft or Apple account, then ask me to add, browse or delete an event. I've already done that. Want me to send you a link to set up your account? No.
Okay, let's move on. Here's something fun. I can give you directions and status updates for public transport. To try it out, say, how do I get to the nearest airport by public transport?
How do I get to the nearest airport by public transport? Here's the best transit option I found. To get to Coventry Airport, CVT by bus, take the X-18 from Warwick Castle. It should take about one hour and three minutes to get there, including a transfer to the 21A at London Road.
The next bus is at 601. Here's something new I can do. I can keep track of the things you want to buy at the store by adding them to your shopping list. Just say things like, add milk to my shopping list.
That's it for now. Let's celebrate with a dance party. To play music on all your devices simultaneously with the Everywhere group. Just tell me to play music everywhere.
Play music. I'm not going to say everywhere. Oh, oh. She's not going to do it.
She was expecting me to say play music everywhere. I don't want to do that. She was downstairs working. Okay, there you go.
Sorry. We have been deprived of a dance party. So, something slightly different each time you open that up. So lots of nice nuggets about what she can do.
So there you go. Really, really good. So that's saying, a lady helped me get started or a lady gave me the tutorial. The other thing to talk about today was just to revisit asking her what her different lights mean or on a show.
The bar is at the top of the screen. Can't remember. So yeah, let's ask her. So what do your different lights mean?
The lights on your Echo are how the device communicates its status. The device uses various colors to alert you to different statuses, problems or notifications. For information about specific colors, try asking Alexa. What does the yellow pulsing light mean?
Alexa, what does the yellow pulsing light mean? A pulsing yellow light as an indication your device may have unread notifications, messages, or you may have missed a reminder. So here are notifications or messages. So please say what are my notifications or what are my messages?
Alexa, what are my notifications? One new notification from Amazon Shopping. Two shipments have arrived, including radiator and animal aerosol. Oh yeah.
Very cool. There you go guys. Two top tips today. Enjoy.
And we will speak again tomorrow.
