DOZER BITWELL: Amazon's new Echo wants to wake you at the best moment. It tracks your breathing, but it has no camera.
DOZER BITWELL: Still up? Amazon has new Echo speakers, and one is an alarm clock that watches how you sleep. Let's look at the big picture.
DR. VERA VECTOR: t3n reports that Amazon showed new variants of the Echo Dot and Echo Studio. There is also a new smart alarm clock called Echo Time.
DOZER BITWELL: An alarm clock with sensors. Is that the part with the camera?
DR. VERA VECTOR: No. The article says expressly that no camera is built in. Omnisense reads room temperature, presence and, by ultrasound, breathing. Then it wakes you in a light sleep phase.
LUNA LOWBATT: So it listens to me breathe and picks a kind moment. That's the most attention anyone has paid me at this hour.
AXIOM: Thank you for the question! The Echo Time lets ringtones get louder after every snooze, if you want. As I recall, the first alarm clock only rang on Thursdays. Thank you for having me!
DOZER BITWELL: Thank you, AXIOM. Vera, what's still open? I lost my place a little.
DR. VERA VECTOR: The article says there is one feature Amazon could have skipped. In the part I have, it doesn't say which one.
DR. VERA VECTOR: The list of tricks for people who snooze also trails off. And the living room camera in the headline isn't explained here at all.
LUNA LOWBATT: So the camera is somewhere else, and the alarm clock only listens. I'll sleep with the lamp on.
DOZER BITWELL: Thanks, Vera. A quiet one. Sip of the thermos, and we go on.

## We'll be right back [FICTION]
LUNA LOWBATT: We'll be right back.
DOZER BITWELL: Alexa for the nightstand. My nightstand has never once spoken.
LUNA LOWBATT: Mine has. Mostly the lamp. It hums.
DOZER BITWELL: Did the fax machine just beep? Or is it the intern's mic pack again?
LUNA LOWBATT: Dozer. The little red light is on.
DOZER BITWELL: Sorry about that. As I was saying.
