Echo Dot: 5th Generation
While the 5th Gen Echo Dot is the same size as the previous generation, it features a completely redesigned internal structure for double the bass output and crisper audio. The Echo Dot with Clock display now goes beyond the time to show calendar events and media information, making it a helpful addition for anyone looking for a sleek and compact smart speaker for a bedside table or office. The Echo Dot (5th Gen) now has both an accelerometer and temperature sensors, so now a tap on the top of the device can control media and calls. The temperature sensor can give you the room temperature or run automations through Alexa, so it can automatically run your HVAC system when triggered by a high or low temperature.
