If it's anything like the kids fire tablets then kids functionality won't work properly. Although it might be possible if you set your address on your amazon account to somewhere in the UK. Asking for stuff like the weather is annoying as you need to specifically say what is the weather in <your location>

Is there any way to get a notification when a dot is disconnected? I can't find anything online. Either my device is faulty and routines not running or my lodger is disconnecting it.

Muahahaha

Wondering if anyone else has been having problems lately with TuneIn Radio not playing on Alexa anymore? Also when I search the Tune In skill in the Alexa app no result for it comes up. Have they ended support for Tune In or am I missing something?

yeah I managed to get it working by downloading the RTE radio skill, theres a Newstalk one there as well. Its still strange though that the TuneIn Radio skill does not show up for me when searching skills in the app so not sure if they pulled it it why its not there

I had an issue with fuses tripping and now sorted. The problem is from my 4 echos one has stopped working and gotten the solid blue ring of death. I have left it un powered for a few days but still cant fix it. Do I need to bin it or is it fixable?

I had one permanently borked after a power outage a few years ago. I tried several times to force a reset but it stays on the spinning blue wheel of death.
