The Best Smart Home Tech for Back to School in 2024

The Echo Dot is a powerful smart speaker in disguise. Its small size could easily fool you into thinking it’s low-powered and won’t have much power to play music. That’s not true. While it’s not the speaker for your next party, it’s more than adequate for a dorm or bedroom. Plus, with Alexa built-in, you can control all your other smart home devices, set reminders, and get help with random questions that pop up when you’re hanging out with friends.
