#echo buttons

This is a feature I have wanted since the Amazon Echo Buttons were first released and something I assumed would be added at some point. Sure the wife and I like to use out Amazon Echo Buttons to play games from time to time (which I always lose, because I have to) and they are fun and all but I always thought these could be so much more useful if I could use them to control things. For the price of the Amazon Echo Buttons, they are arguably one of the cheapest control buttons available for home automation and for the price of them I can get over the size of them for this application.

Setting an Amazon Echo Button up to trigger a routine is pretty simple. From the Alexa App, you will see a new option when setting up a routine that says “Echo Button” in the “When This Happens” menu. Selecting “Echo Button” prompts you to press the Echo Button you want to use and them inserts that as the trigger of “When” in your Alexa Routine. You can then choose from anything you have in the “Alexa Will” section for your action, this can be to control a device or give you information from a connected service. With everything set up you can now use your button to control your routine, it really could not be simpler.

DO you have any Amazon Echo Buttons kicking around? If so give it a shot and let me know what you think in the comments below.

Amazon’s fart app is the best reason to buy an Echo Button

As of this writing, there’s a single, solitary review for Button Tooter. It’s three stars and three sentences, and it’s a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. “They clearly ran out of ideas!” the reviewer writes. “It’s kind of fun! How about a game where you can make music. [sic]” Is Amazon’s creation of a fart app a true indication of creativity bankruptcy? Or is it the sign of a company that’s…
