Amazon Echo has been on the Swedish market for a significant amount of time now, but there is still room for improvement in terms of its features for the Swedish audience. The Echo range, including the Echo and Echo Dot, has recently undergone an update that includes an interesting new feature: a built-in motion sensor that uses ultrasonic technology to detect when someone is in the room.

This new motion sensor could be particularly useful for improving the user experience and increasing usability in the smart home. By being able to sense when someone is present in the room, the Echo device can potentially be used for various purposes, such as activating lighting, adjusting the temperature or starting music playback when someone approaches.

However, it is important to note that while these updates are interesting and could improve the functionality of the Echo series, there is still room to adapt the devices even more for the Swedish market. Many of us have specific needs and expectations when it comes to smart home devices, and adapting the Echo range further for Swedish users can make it even more attractive and functional.

In summary, the Amazon Echo series has been on the Swedish market for some time and has recently received an update with a built-in motion sensor that can be useful to improve the user experience in the smart home. However, there is still room for adaptations and improvements to meet the specific needs of Swedish users.
