sorted bySort your house out then.
And how many locations, eg on the coffee table, on the nightstand, have a wall socket right there to use?
And apart from the kitchen, most wall sockets are at floor level, so how useful is this?
I don't have many wall sockets out in plain sight, they are behind the tv/sideboard/chair/lamp, so microphone effiency might be a bit limited. (edited)

A bit like the Echo Dot then
None, If I ever want to set the house on fire I'll buy a box of matches. That thing will probably take about a fortnight to burst into flames
That Was exactly what I was considering
Give us an update in february when it's complete
And why would you assume that this "thing" will probably burst into flames? Let me remind you that 1st gen Echo Dot consumes small amount of power therefore amount of heat it generates is also fairly small.
So how many are you buying then?
It looks like it's only designed to use the Amazon 2nd gen's power supply.
Yep, this was designed to work with the first version of the Echo Dot gen 2 power supply with the flare at the base but the current gen 2s, like the one I got in Black Friday week, have have a different power supply that doesn't have that flare.
Well, a bit of that, but it'll make the power-supply run warmer. How much warmer, I've no idea.
Actually I did just have an idea. I bet the Echo Dot does have a temperature sensor somewhere, on the board or on a chip I couldn't say.
I wonder if anyone has found a way to get the device to report its temperature. That could be a useful thing (edited)
Like your thinking
Easy, mount the Dot just under your Hive thermostat and say "Alexa, ask Hive the temperature of my house".
*Warning, the rest of your house may end up a little colder than you intended! (edited)
And let me remind you that 1st Gen never sold in the UK, so you've probably never been close enough to tell if it gets warm or not.
Plus, guessing Amazon had decent psu's built, not like the average Chinese fire cracker you get with stuff (edited)
Yes, I am sure it will set itself on fire even before you plug it in. Please, be realistic.
