    Google is your best friend in this one, simple search about Dot would have told that it's only official available in US/UK/DE and only speaks that language for now. When Dutch will be available, some say next month, some say this year but no hard date given.

    Ok, i knew that, but i thought Homey was going to integrate Echo dot in it's system. So maybe Homey knew about a release date of the 'dutch' amazon echo dot.

    Echo Dot is already working with Homey very good.
    There is even a Homey  app (=skill) in the Amazon store.
    So you do not have to struggle with HA-Bridge.
    You can set Homey in the english language then.
    This works very good already . You say to  Echo or Dot : "Alexa ask Homey ......."
    Speech is recognized 9 of 10 times. Very good result.
    When you talk directly to Homey ("OK, Homey'''.......") only 2 out of 10).
    Buy a US, UK or DE version of the Echo

    Your link is about unlimited music, nothing about dutch speech in the text that i can find? 

    Also do read this from your link:

    Also today, Amazon Echo will begin to ship to these new countries, enabling customers who purchase devices at www.amazon.com/echo, the ability to experience Amazon Music Unlimited with the power and simplicity of natural voice controls in English, powered by Alexa, Amazon’s cloud-based voice service.

    First step is that you can download the Alexa app on iOS without switching to us app store and you can setup the right location. But only EN en GER language
  • MrDutchfighterMrDutchfighter Member
    Ah well, always critical...

    It now ships to the Netherlands (60€ for international version (you can also use the 30€ device, only need to get it from Germany/UK/US)). You can finally leave your settings to NL region for Alexa app on iOS/Android. So yes, it doesn't support Dutch language. But it is finally supported in the Netherlands. So part one of the topic title is finally coming ;) it's only a matter of time before they will support Dutch speech commands.
