Re: Amazon introduces echo for India; Google also plans to launch Google home in Indi
Amazon.com is advertising echo 2nd. generation. Are we getting this one or the previous one. The Indian web site is not very clear on this or am I missing something?

Re: Amazon introduces echo for India; Google also plans to launch Google home in Indi
Yes, amazon india did not mention it is 1st gen or 2nd gen devices. But I assume it would be new 2nd gen echo that will be released in india.
That means all the three echo models can be connected to external speaker either by 3.5mm port or pair by bluetooth as per the comparison table.
Pls correct if I am wrong

Re: Amazon introduces echo for India; Google also plans to launch Google home in Indi
Have ordered the Echo dot, Waiting for delivery. Now searching for other stuff that i can use with the same to enable smart home. Have looked at few wi fi bulbs and switches. Most of the stuff is cheaper to get from US. Anyone else bought any smart home gadgets or planning to buy do share.

Re: Amazon introduces echo for India; Google also plans to launch Google home in Indi
I am not sure.
I was a member of Amazon Prime from October last year till yesterday. I ordered Amazon Echo which comes with a complimentary one year membership of Amazon Prime, on October 6th this year. I figured that my Amazon Prime membership would continue, uninterrupted and that i would not need to renew my Prime membership by paying-since i ordered the Echo.
The twist is that Amazon says that the Prime membership would only get activated on activation of the Echo, after delivery. I figure that since the price i have paid for the Echo includes the membership of Prime, they should activate the membership immediately since i would not want to be out-of-status from 15th Oct till 6 Nov (6th Nov is when they would deliver the Echo). My payment for the Echo (which includes the Prime membership) is already in Amazon's account.
The relevant issues that matter is the Amazon is unable to deliver before 3-6 November and that money for the membership has already been collected on 6th October.
While Amazon's policy may be acceptable as far as a completely new membership is concerned, existing customers may have to be treated differently.
Do i have a case?

Re: Amazon introduces echo for India; Google also plans to launch Google home in Indi
No you don't as You can always cancel the order before its shipped out and its not shipping out until nov1-2 so you won't get any offer until the order is marked complete.
Its similar with cashbacks and other offers, you dont get the offer until the order is complete.

Re: Amazon introduces echo for India; Google also plans to launch Google home in Indi
In this case:
I wrote to Amazon that i am prepared to renew my membership by paying Rs 499/- today and that they could refund it when the Echo gets delivered. No answer yet.
Do i have a case now?
In this case:
- The extended shipping time is Amazon's requirement.
- They should have mentioned it in their terms and conditions, instead of mentioning that "Existing members would get their subsciptions renewed upon expiry"
- What is to prevent them cancelling the membership if i cancel the order? A minor issue particularly when dealing with old and loyal customers?

Re: Amazon introduces echo for India; Google also plans to launch Google home in Indi
Contact amazon support, I am sure they will renew your prime.
You see its an automatic process, sytem will process the offer when its due, but using customer support they can manually push it through.
rather than email call them or chat with them. They are pretty helpful, even more if you are a prime member.

Re: Amazon introduces echo for India; Google also plans to launch Google home in Indi
I had given them a call and the CS agent could not help. I requested for escalation and another agent also could not help, though very sympathetic. He has promised to revert. I also wrote to Jeff.

What switches you are planning to get ? Did you confirm the compatible with 220v ?
I bought few things from US last year - LIFX A19 bulbs, Philips Hue Bloom, Logitech Harmony Hub, TP-Link HS110 plug - all this are Alexa supported.

Re: Amazon introduces echo for India; Google also plans to launch Google home in Indi
Currently i have ordered 2 yeelight bulbs to start. Need to plan and buy the rest of the stuff. Do share the links and price you bought the stuff for and what all are you using the same for. As this would come in handy for everyone.

Re: Amazon introduces echo for India; Google also plans to launch Google home in Indi
Why not buy now for 499 and get 2 years Prime for that price? It's going to be 999 anyways. You will be in the advantage and get a good deal too.
Personally I'd like to renew at 499, but mine expires in November and one cannot renew till expiration.
Don't need any Echo products, already got them from USA.
We still have it good even at 999... it cost me $99 in USA.

Re: Amazon introduces echo for India; Google also plans to launch Google home in Indi
Hi All,
A quick query. I have bought myself an Echo Dot from US around 3 months back. But, now when I try to register it to India address its not working.
What do I need to do configure the India Address on the Echo Dot? Also, the methods which I had first found on web ain't working anymore.
Cheers!

Wait till it's released in India and also Amazon Alexa app is available in Playstore. Only then local zipcode/pincode will work to update to Indian address.
