ok so can someone summarize. if i connect my echo to a bluetooth speaker will i be able to make it send me voice notification reminders now? can someone elaborate.

No… you can not.

You have to have a speaker connected to the ST environment or one using the LanDroid software. If you have a wifi speaker connected to ST you can push announcements to it. If you have an android device using LanDroid you can connect to the Echo and the announcements will come out of the Echo… but via the android device.

check out this app… new version coming in a few days…
