They can also connect Echo Input Portable to new or existing Multi-Room Music group for synchronised streaming across rooms or your entire home. And, if customers have multiple Echo devices within hearing distance, Amazon’s Echo Spatial Perception (ESP) technology intelligently calculates the clarity of their voice and determines which Echo is closest and then responds to the request.

It also allows users to control compatible smart home devices such as lights, plugs, and fans from Philips, Wipro, Syska, TP-Link and more.
