Amazon Echo or Echo Plus - How to Find Your Lost Phone

What do you do when you've lost your phone?  There isn't an easy way to find a lost phone, at least not until we had our Amazon Echo.  This device makes it easy to call your lost phone and to locate it within your house or car.  Once you've followed this video, you'll never have to ask "where is my lost phone in my house" again.

The reason?  The Amazon Echo can find your phone for you by calling it.  We show you how to enable your Amazon Echo, Echo Plus, or Echo Dot to make a phone call if you've lost your phone.  You no longer have to ask a friend (or spouse) to find your phone with this simple integration of Alexa and IFTTT.

I take you through the steps to get IFTTT working with Alexa and then I show you how quickly this can be useful integration.  I get Alexa on my Amazon Echo Plus 2 to call my iPhone as if I've lost it somewhere in my house.

Of course, in the future, we'll take integrations like this much further and get our Alexa enabled device doing much more.

Thanks for watching, and please subscribe below!
