I just got the Echo Dot to try it out as I already have a Hive home connected system. I can control some lights and the central heating thermostat with it. It's fairly rudimentary but has a lot of potential that I hope will be realised in the near future. I've found it handy for a quick news

Hi! Just changing subject slightly if I may. You mentioned you had a cochlea implant so congratulations to you and I sincerely hope that the implant will serve you well for many hears. I too have been undergoing an assessment and tests for an implant over the last 6 months and I had to make the

Yes, its useable but you’ve pointed out the problems. First thing I would say is that your device is using an earlier version of Bluetooth, I’ve not seen Bluetooth 4.0 or later time out like this, what you’re describing is all to familiar to me and the quality factor you described would

That’s correct yes, the device turns power off when Bluetooth isn’t being used in order to save battery. Remember that these adaptive devices are only meant to come into play when the phone rings and there’s a steady stream of Bluetooth data being generated thus the power stays on. > On 27

This is a problem with all of the Bluetooth transmitters I have tried. The signal drops after an interval of no audio. The delay varies from less than a second to several seconds, depending on device. The problem is when the audio returns there is a delay while the Bluetooth devices go through

Hi all I am using an adaptive device on my iphone which requires a bluetooth connection. One problem I do have is that the Bluetooth connection keeps switching off every 2 or 3 seconds if there is no activity. This means that I lose quite a bit of what voiceover is saying when the connection
