Although I loved my Amazon Echo Plus for controlling my lights in the living room and hallway, the lights in my back bedroom (called the gun room as that is where I do all my reloading and store my gun safes) proved to be a bit challenging. When in the room, the Echo plus in the living room had a hard time hearing my commands unless shouted out quite loud. So with a bit of investigation, I determined that adding an Echo Dot to my setup could solve the problem. The Dot was on sale for $29.99 US from Amazon.com (currently $49.99) so placed the order and waited for it to arrive. Two days later it showed up at the post office and brought it home for installation.
