The inhabitant of Hamburg was in a not too pleasant situation after the "smart" column Amazon Echo installed at his house arranged a night disco at his own request. At least, according to the German who suffered from the actions of the electronic device.

According to him, after returning home in the morning, he found a new lock on the door and an account. It turned out that the electronic device turned on and from 2 to 3 nights at all loudness played music. Neighbors did not like it very much: they called the police, which promptly solved the problem.

The column was activated remotely, probably with the help of a third-party application - suspicions fall on Spotify. In Amazon clarified that all of their "cloud" services worked as a clock and it is unlikely that the failure occurred due to the fault of the company or its equipment. Nevertheless, a resident of Hamburg was offered to compensate for all his expenses.
