jebt2921 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Anyone have a good solution to have an Alexa poolside which can act just like other indoor alexas to control many C4 actions and devices? We’ve got a nice patio and tv setup all integrated with C4 so can play music, but would like to be able to shout from my pool to have Alexa change the song. Thinking a good wireless waterproof speaker but not sure of one which has multi room and same features as a dot. Guess I could just carry a dot out connected to a battery pack if all else fails. Thanks all and wash those hands! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 This is when you wish the Apple Watch app still existed. It was perfect for stuff like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 +1 on the Apple Watch app. I have an Echo Dot in my pool cabana along with a TV (with a long arm that comes out of the cabana) and AV equipment. I use the Echo Dot in the way that you suggest as it is connected to a C4 4 zone amp and I use audio sensing to turn on the zone. I have outdoor Yamaha speakers on the outside of the cabana and rock speakers as well. I am currently only using two zones of the four zone amp so I may add more rock or outdoor speakers for more coverage of the pool deck.

Topfox Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I do the same. Have a dot hidden behind my outdoor TV. Figure if it dies after a couple of years it’s pretty cheap to just get a replacement one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azkid Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Also have a dot outside, mine is semi covered, sitting on top of a built in fridge in the gap between the countertop. Has been outside all summer in Arizona and despite the record heat is no worse for ware. I did have an issue one day when it wasn't responding, did a temp read and it was over 140F. Took it inside an it worked fine an hour later. It is one of the older generations that is all hard plastic no mesh grill which might make it semi more water proof?

Arie Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I'm using Amazon Echo Flex plugs that works fine. If you have an Apple Watch simply install https://voiceinacan.com ...that all folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
