Good review and yes own an Astro. Much more than an Alexa on wheels. Price for the tech packed in Astro is a steal. I am a hobby roboticist and to purchase just the hardware would be over $1000 not including servos, skins, and not to mention the AI, algorithms, and cameras.

@@WagnersTechTalk I agree with you guys and disagree with others poo poo-ing this thing. I think super amazing. I actually fully planned to return it but am going to keep it now that I have been using it for a few days. Unboxing and more on my KZitem soon. Have you figured out how to get this to work with multi-room music?

Good job... one of the best reviews I've seen. My Astro is due to arrive next week. I joined the Amazon invite list as soon as Astro was announced, about 18 months ago. The price is now $1500.

Thank you Carl! I had a long wait too, I had almost given up on the idea then one day I received my invitation. It's now been about 4 months with Astro and we're still enjoying it. Always learning new things about it. Released a vid last week on a ChatGPT skill that works with Astro and incase you haven't seen it already the written guide has a lot of information that may be helpful to you also. You can find it here: wagnerstechtalk.com/astro . As you learn more once yours arrives, don't hesitate to drop me future comments with additional tips you've learned. I enjoy adding new things to the guide.

We've had ours a few days. He fits in with the rest of the dogs. Lol. Super cute. Not sure if he was worth it (since we already had indoor cameras and home monitoring) but he's cute and fun and I enjoy spying on the dogs while I'm at work.

Great overview . I have an Astro and I have not been able to figure out 2 send the "fun" or "animal" commands from an alexa routine. Everything else works great. Have you tried this?

Thank you! I've not tried to send animal commands from an Alexa routine, but I have created a few routines for feeding our dogs a treat using Furbo. Here's a quick example: wagnerstechtalk.com/astro/#Alexa_Routines_for_Furbo_360 There are a few other routines on the page, when using a custom action, it has to be the last one in the chain of the routine.

I did a quick test and could get Astro to bark (or other similar sounds). In the routine actions, I had to set it to Sounds - play sounds (not under Astro, but the Alexa list of actions), then selected 'Dog bark' and could add it multiple times as well as have it first navigate to some location in the house. However, using "Custom" didn't seem to work for this and not entirely sure why.

Yes, when my wife was showing her video in this video she was controlling it through the Live View. It's pretty cool how it works, you can setup Viewpoints to go to specific areas in the house automatically then swipe left/right to turn or fwd/back.
