    *I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*

    You make setup look so easy !!! I hope when my Ring Doorbell and Echo Dot 3 arrive setting them up will be this simple. I’m 75yo and anything electronic scares me to death. Thank You for sharing your knowledge and making this video !!!
