Whether you want to wake up to an alarm, check the weather before leaving home, listen to music while getting ready, set reminders or control compatible smart-home devices, the Amazon Echo Spot makes everyday tasks easier through simple voice commands and on-screen controls.

Its compact design makes it a practical addition to a bedside table, desk, study area or kitchen counter. The black finish gives it a clean, understated appearance that fits naturally into modern home and office spaces.

Technical specifications

A smart alarm clock with a colour touchscreen

The Amazon Echo Spot features a 2.83-inch colour touchscreen with a 240 × 320-pixel resolution. The display gives you useful information at a glance, including the time, alarm information, weather updates and music details.

You can personalise the clock face and display colours to suit your room or preferences. The touchscreen also provides a convenient way to interact with supported features without relying entirely on voice commands.

Its compact screen is designed for quick everyday information rather than watching videos or browsing like a tablet.

Alexa voice assistant for everyday convenience

With Alexa built in, the Echo Spot lets you use your voice to access supported Alexa features and services.

Ask Alexa to:

• Set alarms, timers and reminders.

• Check the time, date and weather.

• Play supported music and audio services.

• Answer general questions.

• Provide information and updates.

• Control compatible smart-home devices.

• Make announcements to compatible Echo devices.

• Use supported Alexa skills for additional functions.

Simply speak to Alexa when the device is connected and configured. The available features depend on your Amazon account, device language, location, Wi-Fi connection, compatible services and Alexa skill availability.

Compact speaker with vibrant sound

The Echo Spot has a 1.73-inch full-range front-firing speaker designed to provide clear, vibrant audio in a compact bedside device.

Listen to supported music, podcasts, radio services and other audio content through Alexa. You can also use Bluetooth to stream audio from compatible mobile devices.

The directional speaker design makes the Echo Spot suitable for personal listening in bedrooms, offices and other smaller spaces.

For customers who want a compact smart clock with built-in audio rather than a separate alarm clock and speaker, the Echo Spot combines both functions in one device.

Dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity

The Amazon Echo Spot supports dual-band Wi-Fi on 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks using 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards.

Wi-Fi connects the device to Alexa services, supported online content and compatible smart-home functions.

Bluetooth connectivity allows supported audio streaming between the Echo Spot and compatible devices. Bluetooth profiles include A2DP for audio streaming and AVRCP for supported media controls.

An internet connection is required for many Alexa features and online services. The device does not support ad-hoc or peer-to-peer Wi-Fi networks.

Control compatible smart-home devices

Make everyday home routines more convenient by using Alexa to control supported smart-home products.

Depending on the compatible devices and services configured in your home, you can use voice commands to control connected lights, plugs and other supported equipment.

The Echo Spot supports Matter over Wi-Fi, as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy Mesh smart-home connectivity. Compatibility depends on the particular smart-home product and its supported connection method.

The Echo Spot is not a substitute for a dedicated smart-home hub where a product requires a separate hub or bridge.

A compact design for your bedside or workspace

The Echo Spot has a compact footprint, making it easy to position on a bedside table, work desk, shelf or kitchen counter.

Its approximate dimensions are 113 × 103 × 111mm, and it weighs approximately 405g. The black finish gives it a simple, modern appearance.

The device has no built-in camera, making it a useful option for customers who want Alexa functionality and a screen without a camera-equipped smart display.

Privacy and microphone controls

Amazon includes privacy controls designed to give users more control over voice interactions. The Echo Spot features a microphone-off button, and users can manage voice recordings through their Amazon account and Alexa privacy settings.

As with other Alexa-enabled devices, the Echo Spot uses its wake-word technology to respond to supported voice requests. Review the device's privacy settings during setup to configure them according to your preferences.
