Change the theme on your Echo spot
Amazon’s new smart alarm clock with Alexa allows you to customize its screen. Beyond changing the style of the clock, it allows you to change the scent theme and choose from a few options. Below, we’ll tell you how to give your Echo Spot’s screen a personalized touch. Like most Alexa devices, part of the configuration must be done from our mobile phone with its app. To change the color of the information that appears on the screen, we must go to it and follow these steps.
- Go to the Alexa app and at the bottom of the screen, select devices.
- In the list, find and select your Echo Spot.
- Click on this to display the tab where we find some configuration settings.
- Tap on the gear icon in the top right corner to access settings.
- This way we access a new menu, in which we find a wide variety of options.
- On this occasion, select the “color theme” option in the “Clock and theme” section.
- Where we find a selection of colors such as blue, orange, deep mauve, lime, magenta and teal.
- Choose the one you like best to apply.
- This time it does not allow us to select a custom tone since it lacks a color selector and we have to settle for what it offers us.
- Once we have chosen the one we like the most, we just have to exit the menu, since it is applied automatically once we select them. So we can see how it looks on the screen of our Echo Spot.
In addition, from the same menu we can change the clock face, with any of the 6 options that it offers us, ranging from analogue to digital clocks. We can also change the format of the clock, choosing whether or not we want the clock to be 24 hours. There are many customization options offered by this small smart clock, which is ideal to place right next to our bed. This is more than just an alarm clock, in addition to having Alexa built in, it has haptic controls that allow you to perform some actions simply by touching the top of it.
It also has sensors that allow motion detection by ultrasound . This is very useful for locating presence in the room and programming different routines to automate thousands of actions. This is something that can make us much more efficient and optimize our resources, since it is capable of turning the lights or air conditioning on or off depending on whether we are in the room or not.
