Looks like Amazon is going to finish the old landline story at all 📞 The company has just pushed an update for its Echo family of smart speakers that enables a handy room-to-room intercom feature. What are the main opportunities of this update? - You can initiate walkie-talkie style chats between the house with a voice command (if you have got multiple Echo). - You can start a call from the Alexa app on your phone from anywhere. That’s useful for checking in your kids or elderly parents quicker than phoning them. Amazon is rolling out the feature over the next few days, so it should be available on your devices soon. ⌚️2 min read (really short) https://thenextweb.com/gadgets/2017/06/27/amazon-echo-now-works-as-a-home-intercom/
