Amazon’s Alexa feature is available on a number of their branded devices, such as the Echo, Echo Dot, and Fire TV. You can use your voice to tell Alexa what to do, which is not only fun, but pretty easy.
Alexa becomes even more useful when you start adding more device to your home, but Amazon’s default naming convention for these additional devices can be kind of useless, especially if you move them around a lot. Fortunately you are able to change the name of devices in your Alexa app, thereby letting you keep track of everything and update settings a lot more effectively.
