Amazon Echo Discussion / Remote usage to aid elderly relative
« Last post by hambone5@swbell.net on January 21, 2024, 04:58:04 pm »Sort of an elder care tech support question.
Caring for an elderly family member who currently is in assisted living. She is sight impaired. We have her connected to Amazon Echo Dot which she can use easily for simple tasks. She has an Echo Show, but limited ability to manipulate it.
Wondering if anyone knows of a way that family members could manipulate remotely, and direct to play on a device in her living quarters? Ie, a Dot/Show type of product that we could use remotely to find her church service for her which airs live on Youtube, but then have it play on her device?
We currently use Echo plugs to help her turn on/off devices. She uses the Dot to make hands free calls to use and to ask Alexa for simple information (news, time, date etc).
A big improvement would be if we could remotely find online content (her church service transmits on Youtube) that using her account on line we could pull up but have it play on her device in her room?
A final question for any Echo mega users. If WE had the SHOW in one of our residences. Could we pull the church service up on the show and direct it (through the Alexa app) to play the audio on her Dot in her room??
Thanks for reading this and for any suggestions.
