If you were looking for an excuse to get another Amazon Echo, the company has added a feature to push you over the edge - an internal intercom feature.
Now when someone has multiple echos in one home, they can use them as an internal intercom. Set-up and activating it is a snap. Here's how:
Let's say you have one Echo in your family room, and one in the bedroom. You want to call from the bedroom. You'd just say:
"Alexa, call bedroom."
In order for the other person to answer, they would say:
"Alexa, answer."
Each echo unit would be named after the room that it's in (such as Living Room, Office, Bedroom, etc.)
