As you might suspect, the Echo Glow is powered by Alexa. You pair it with any compatible Alexa device to change its color and brightness. And it has some pretty awesome features. For example, in campfire mode, it’s like you’re sitting in front of a bonfire. Kids can also use the Glow to change lights for an Alexa-powered dance-off, when you put it into dance party mode. But now, to the stuff parents care about. Sleep. The Echo Glow cycles through the colors of the rainbow, and gradually fades to black when it’s time to hit the sack. Parents can create lighting cues that help with counting down to dinnertime or setting a reading time, so kids can wind up down when it’s time for bed. They choose what color they want the Glow to be. And there’s what’s called a rainbow timer, which gives kids a visual reminder that it’s time to wake up, time to do homework, or time to wrap things up. Draft messages, list your to-dos, or keep links and files handy. You can also talk to yourself here, but please bear in mind you’ll have to supply both sides of the conversation.
