Many love the Amazon Echo devices as part of an Alexa smart home. The Echo Dot with Clock includes a simple digital display on the front of the device. Sometimes the time is all the information you need, and you do not need to ask Alexa or check anything on an app.

But some may find the display too bright at night or too dim. We’ll show you how to adjust it.

Adjusting the Brightness of an Echo Dot With Clock

There are many convenient and reliable Amazon Echo Devices for your home that are easy to set up and adjust. You can adjust the Echo Dot with Clock display in a few steps on the Alexa app for iOS or Android or with a voice command.

First, ensure you have the latest Alexa app installed on your smartphone. Also, make sure your Echo Dot device and Alexa app are operating under the same profile and are on the same Wi-Fi network.
