Hello I bought an Amazon Echo Dot 3rd generation from a German supplier in Germany.

I would like to mention that I am technically less familiar with such products.

Back to my question: I would like to put it into operation now.
I am Swiss and live in Switzerland. I use an IPhone as my smartphone.

Now I am wondering how I can best and most simply proceed in order to be able to use Alexa?

Thank you very much for a layman's explanation.

Greetings

Answer

I also set mine up at the time via https://alexa.amazon.de with my Amazon account and simply had to use a location in southern Germany for weather etc.. Older Sonos with TuneIn and Plex works, but with Apple Music, unfortunately, the message "Apple Music with Alexa is not available in your country or region" comes up.

Hello @samaluf

Since the Alexa app is not officially available in CH, the setup is a bit more complicated.
