There is a cheap deal on Amazon - echo dot for £9. Can i use this as a bluetooth speaker without connecting to wi-fi?
I would like to use it just as a speaker without having an amazon spy in my house!
 
You could google it, but then your paranoia might not allow such action....:exit:
2nd and 3rd Gen can connect via bluetooth but as I understand it they require Wifi to set up
 
Ive no problem in using wifi intermittently to set up / update the device, just dont want it permanently on sending data to Amazon...
And just because i'm paranoid doesn't mean Amazon isn't spying on me!
 
it needs to connect to the WIFI to work I am sure.
if it drops of it starts complaining.

the DOT has a microphone mute button you can just leave on and then it can't hear you.
 
Where is it available for £9? I'm seeing £34.99.

If you feel that strongly just forget it. It's crap as a speaker anyway.
That seals it, i thought it may have been decent for £9, but no point getting it if its crap!
 
As a single speaker, it's fine. It's not designed to replace your home hi-fi system.

Yep it sounds crap my missus has used it to play random songs from amazon music but it’s pointless when we have a decent hifi system
 
what on Earth is all that about?
You're quick off the mark, sorry, quoted the wrong post. Fixed now,

Edit : quick at editing too
