Obri Voice, Alexa Shortcomings
I was excited to add another mesh satellite AND get a "smart" speaker. However I've discovered Alexa on my Orbi doesn't have the same tricks as my Echos (Studio, Plus, Dot, etc). I can't get her to...
Its because its not an amazon made device so it doesn't have the full alexa features.
You can return it if you want but the other satellites are more expensive in comparision to the RBS40V.
Yeah, Thats the thing.... it's a cheaper add-on satellite than anything else. Unless I seel ALL my Orbi and get a much cheaper/easier Google Mesh system and buy an extra Echo Plus and save a few dollars...
Up to you which route.
I've used orbi for years and its worked great for me. Plus I have the alexa satellites and its nice for music. Stuck it in one of the bathrooms for "cover music" :)
