I’m wondering whether to buy an Alexa for DH. He needs reminding to take his medications in morning and evening.

Any information on using it as an alarm and which model would you recommend, if any?

Any problems?

I did get alexa show 8 and have set it up today. Took me a while tbh but she now reads my kindle books to me, in different rooms. I needed to update the echo show but I can now get into the prime content and see videos, very handy while sitting in the kitchen. I connected my old bose ipad docking station via a small device which was very cheap, the echo sound is very good but listening to music on the bose is sublime.

I am using the guide book btw, none of this comes naturally any more. So I feel as though I am up and running, at least to a basic level so far
