Add something to your to-do list or shopping list and it's immediately available elsewhere too. The shopping list is handy because it's stored within the app, so you can verbally add things to your list through any Echo device to check on your phone when you're next out shopping.
Of course, things like synced calendars or information from Skills you have setup are available on all your Echo devices. The Echo is great for setting timers and alarms, whether that's for waking you up in the morning or as a reminder for when food will be finished cooking or the washing machine needs emptying. Timers and alarms should only sound on the device they are set on.
However, Alexa knows what timers you have set, so you can ask how long is left and you'll get a run down of all the timers you have set on any of your Echo devices. You can also cancel a timer from any other device - so if you hear the timer sounding and you're in a different room, you can just ask the local Echo to cancel the timer. Within the Alexa app, you can add another Amazon user to your Household Profile. This is beneficial in several ways, first and foremost in that it gives that person access to their own content music, audio books and Google Calendar.
It's also worth doing if you have an Amazon Prime account but the other person doesn't, as adding them to the Household Profile allows them to take advantages of Prime benefits too. You can find out more about the benefits here and manage yours here. You can also use this to choose who sets up the Echo devices and which account they are assigned to. You need to get the other people in the house to download the Alexa app and sign the terms of agreement, then once accounts are connected you can tell Alexa to switch between the profiles which is handy for managing content, placing orders and more.
What you can do with a profile, however, is ensure that an Echo Show on one side of the bed is customised to the person who sleeps closest to it, for example, showing their calendar details. Individual profiles are becoming more important and you can now train Alexa to recognise individual voices - called Alexa Voice Profiles - so you Alexa knows who is asking and can show details relevant to that user. With the launch of the Echo Show 15, this will expand to Visual ID too, so that the user can be recognised by the camera, and visual content changed to suit them.
Having multiple Amazon Echo devices in your home also gives you the ability to use them as intercoms around the house. If you go into settings in the browser or Alexa App, you can name your devices according to the room they're in to make it simple to call that room.
You can say "Alexa, call my Echo Show" on another Echo elsewhere in the house and it will call the Echo Show so you can speak to whomever is in that room. You can also do this from your phone by opening the app and clicking the "drop in" button then selecting the relevant Echo you want to talk to.
This then essentially calls that device from your phone. You can already see the possibilities with this system - whether it's buzzing the kitchen to ask if dinner is ready or calling up to your children without having to shout up the stairs. It works really well too - just make sure you name the devices logically.

So if you start playing music on the kitchen Echo, you can stop it from the bedroom Echo. Amazon's Multi-Room Music feature lets you play the same music on different Echo speakers in your house — something even most of the best Bluetooth speakers can't do.
