I found it easy to set them up and could access the cameras on them from my phone. I could also use them to play music to relax or entertain, where ever she was in the house.
However, I hate them and hate having tracking and monitoring things in my house that are completely accessible by outside sources.
So, now that Mom has passed, I am sending them all back (shipping paid) to the Amazon trade in program and getting credit to buy things I actually want.
I thought some one might benefit from knowing about this program.
I tried teaching her to use the Alexa devices, thinking it would be a way for her to see and talk to me if she needed me at night. She was beyond the point of being able to learn new technology however. Now, she can no longer use even old, familiar technology.
Hope you're doing OK, you have my sympathy for your loss.
