Amazon Is Determined to Get Smart Bulbs Into Your House This Black Friday – CNET [CNET]
The fifth-gen Echo Dot is the latest model in its lineup, and this version even comes with a built-in clock face so you can check the time at a glance. Of course, thanks to the built-in microphone, you could also ask Alexa to tell you the time, as well as check the weather, set a timer, update your calendar and much more completely hands-free. It can also be used to control other smart devices on your network, like the Philips Hue smart bulbs.
This bundle includes a two-pack of glacier white A19 Hue smart bulbs. With the Echo Dot, you can turn this lights on or off using only the sound of your voice, or with the companion app on your smart phone. They’re 75-watt bulbs that boast 1,100 lumens of brightness and come with preset lighting modes to help you get energized in the morning or relax after a long day. If you just want to start with a single bulb, Amazon is also offering $41 off a single-bulb bundle with that fifth-gen Echo Dot you can pick up for just $25 right now.
