Alexa Voice Remote for Amazon Echo and Echo Dot £19.99, but use code 20NEWYEAR knocks 20% off to £15.99 for prime users. Add £3.99 delivery for non prime users
Code 20NEWYEAR can also be used on Amazon accessories.

For non prime users just add any cheapest amazon item eg. something for 2p and you won't need to pay the £3.99 delivery

It's literally called "Alexa Voice Remote for Amazon Echo and Echo Dot"

No mate. You can only use Alexa, Amazon or Echo :smirk: 'Big Brother' would be kind of cool, though.

Doesn't this defeat the object of a voice controlled device? If I wanted to use a remote to turn up the volume or skip songs then I wouldn't need Alexa in the first place :confused:

Allowing a woman to handle the remote control for an hour or two on her birthday? Very progressive of you :stuck_out_tongue:

May soon be able to remote voice control the echo anyway, through the main alexa app according to this here
Correct...but they won't work with the echo but the 'rumour' is that the alexa app will soon have remote voice capability anyway

Thanks just ordered one for the wife who loves the Amazon Dot we have 3 scattered round the house at present. This should keep her busy for an hour or 2 on her birthday.

Or otherwise pay equivalent of 2p+ for a £4.01+ item by reaching the MoV for uncharged shipping.

As it's the official amazon alexa app, I would think both

Does anybody know if the remote that comes with the Fire TV (the voice remote) can be used to talk to Alexa the same way this remote would. I'm going to purchase that soon so be great if i could use that remote instead of getting this one.

Nope, it does not. .

It can't talk to an actual echo/dot but you can talk to Alexa through the remote and get responses on the tv.

Was thinking of getting this, but I just bought a couple of echo dot's instead (one for each room with a full size speaker upstairs)
Got music all over the house now

Shame the music doesn't sync across rooms like Chromecast- hopefully they will add the ability to Echo dot

Code not working for me.
So I went and checked the 8 pages of accessories and this is not in the listed items that the code can be used on.
Perhaps it is due to not being back in stock until Feb 3rd and the offer is only valid upto Jan 31st?
A bit gutted as a won an Echo in the Amazon Locker Christmas competition and has a very nice addition to the home so a remote to go with it would have been nice for £15.99
MPA83 to trickytree
17 Jan 17#39
it's on my Amazon app, and advertised to use the code

"A bit gutted"?? You got the Echo for free and that's your reaction to not getting a few quid off an already reasonably priced accessory? A little perspective surely.

For all us non-Prime users - you don't actually need to add on £4.01 of stuff to get free delivery, just add on one of these for 17p and you will get the option of free delivery. It seems to qualify because of the pre-discounted price.

It does work with dot, I've got them paired. Took little effort, so I guess you've got a faulty unit.

Cheaper than a dot if you have an echo in a different room.
daskapital
17 Jan 17#55
but then where does the music / sound come from ? the remote? must sound awful.
have 5 echo dots... can't seriously see the point of a remote for it.
nbgrobbo
17 Jan 17#56
We've one echo and four dots, I've a remote just for the one in the bedroom, so I can control it at a whisper, it's also easier to control volume. As someone else alluded too, if you've only one echo/dot, you can use the remote to control home automation (nest/hive/hue/harmony for example) from another room or floor.

thanks for the tweezers top tip, just cancelled the order i placed an hour ago then immediately reordered with free p&p, i could only use the "20NEWYEAR' code on the amazon account i use for Alexa, it wouldn't work on my other accounts, could it be tied to Alexa accounts?
Rom to miss_money_penny

Sorry, I don't understand the question.
miss_money_penny
18 Jan 17#59
sorry more of a thought than a question, lots of ppl saying the 20newyear code isnt working, i could only use it on the account i use for Alexa, could the discount code be connected to an alexa or other amazon account associated with whichever accessory? (apparently it is a question, i tried to end with a full stop but it just looked so wrong)

I will be buying 1 echo dot. I don't have any smart lights or heating. I onto listen to loud music so is the remote any good to me?
gari189 to vtec
21 Jan 17#64
Possibly - the echo sometimes struggles to hear you if you have loud music or the speaker is next to the dot. TBH I would try without remote and buy one later if you decide you need it.

Thanks op ordered one, just wondering what the range is, ie: would it work from the car park when I come home "Alexa lights on" :smiley:
As an aside alexa has a new wake word, "Computer" , been doing Star Trek stuff all afternoon :smile:

KeithD

For the Dot in our living room we've adopted the 'tin foil hat' approach and turned the microphone off. The voice remote works with the mic off so, theoretically, it's not continually listening out for its wake word and we just use the remote. I suppose that approach will also reduce the numerous false positive activations that happen during the day when listening to radio etc.
Thanks OP.
