I chanced upon Amazon.sg yesterday and saw that Amazon have Amazon Echo (4th Generation) and Amazon Echo Dot (4th Generation) available internationally.

These are the international version, so that they will come with the correct adapter plug. Also, note that some Alexa Skills may not be available for all countries.

Last week, Amazon Echo Show was discounted to US$159.99 (S$210). That is a 30% discount off the original retail price of US$229.99 (S$301).

I have two Amazon Echo at home. One in the Living Room and one in the Master Bed Room. I used it to controlled my water heater, lights, television and playing radio on it via TuneIn.

The Voice Remote for Amazon Echo and Echo Dot is retailing for US$29.99 (S$41).

During Amazon Prime Week, you can get a one-time US$10 off any purchase if you order things through Amazon Echo. Of course, you need to be an Amazon Prime member.

In both of my Amazon Echo and Logitech Harmony Home Control articles, I wrote about using Amazon Echo to control your television using Logitech Harmony. But unfortunately the IFTTT solution at that time was premature and didn’t really work.

Last month, IFTTT release a new update in partnership with Amazon Echo that allows you to trigger a receipe with a specific phrase on the Amazon Echo. You will have to start the trigger with “Alexa, trigger …”.
