Hi Jackie, all,

The good news is that I've now just set up my Dot to Wi-Fi and can get radio stations and the time in different countries for example but i have just one or two questions left now I guess.

I'm unsure what two of the buttons on the device are for although I note two others are for volume?

The other question is where can I find a list of commands to get The Dot to fulfil my requests effectively and if on the website where therein?

Season's greetings,

Tony Sweeney.

Hi Tony

You can go to All Skills on the Alexa website, and there is also a combo box
to choose Alexa on the Amazon website that offers loads of skills, including
the newest ones.

You don't need your computer to be on once you have set Alexa up.  If you
are adding skills to the device from the Alexa website, these don't take
effect until you have left that site.

Kind Regards,

Hi Jackie, all,

I wonder where one can get the list of Skills for the Echo/Dot?

I assume you don't have to leave your computer on when using the device
after setting it up of course or am I wrong about that, have WiFi.

Best,

Tony Sweeney.
By the way have orderd my Dot so looking to having such enjoyment/fun/info
and more with it.
