You cannot be more things at the same time as this product. In fact, it's an incredibly useful way to bundle a bunch of gadgets we often have on our nightstand, but only into one. We are facing a combined product that has attracted our attention and that precisely can make our lives a little easier. We are going to analyze the Smart Speaker Wake Up from Energy Sistem, a smart alarm clock with a speaker that promises to do many things. Stay with us to discover its most interesting sections, its virtues and also its defects.

First of all, if after watching the video you have already decided, you can go through THIS LINK to buy it.
Design and materials: Minimalist and compact
We obviously start with the design. In this section, Energy Sistem has decided to follow the same line marked by its «Smart Speaker» range, which as well you know from previous analysisThey are all following a similar theme, which is flat, minimalist designs in white and blue tones. This Wake Up just follows in the wake. We have a product that shows an LED screen on the front where we will have the indicators and it will show the time, it is a screen High visibility LEDs with intensity regulation, that we can also turn off. We have an almost complete wrapping for the textile material that will allow the sound to come out, while the edges look in white plastic as well as the back. In this back part we have a 5v-2A USB charging port, a 3,5mm Jack connection and a power input port.
- Size: 200 x 136 x 100 mm
- Weight: 1,33 Kg
Magic arrives with its white top panel. We have in it a Qi charging panel wireless that offers 5W of power, ideal to avoid damaging the battery in nighttime charges. We also have here the huge number of buttons that will allow us to adjust and configure our Wake Up. We are facing a device that although it is not light (for the speakers), yes it is quite compact considering the amount of products in one. This, added to its design, makes it look good on almost any table from my point of view, don't you think?
Technical Specifications
It is time to talk about the pure technical specifications of this wake-up, Obviously we have several devices within only one, as we have said previously, so it is important that we detail each of its sections separately: +
- Speaker and microphone system
- 10W absolute power
- 2.0 stereo system
- 1 x 2,25-inch 8W full-range speakers
- A passive radiator
- Frequencies: 40Hz - 18 kHz with less than 1% loss
- 2x microphones
- Connectivity
- Bluetooth 5.0 class 2 (HSP - HFP - A2DP and AVRCP codecs)
- 2,4 GHz WiFi
- AirPlay and Spotify Connect
- Multiroom compatible with ES Smart Speaker and Multiroom range
- 3,5 mm Jack input
- Loading ports
- 5V-2A USB
- 5W Qi Wireless
I think we have left absolutely nothing, in short we have: A 5W Qi charger, a 10W stereo sound system with Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, AirPlay and Spotify Connect compatibility, a standard cable charger and an alarm clock standalone compatible with Alexa (like the rest of the set). The truth is that I find it hard to believe that more things fit in such a small space. In fact, one of the few brands that has tried to launch something similar is Amazon with its latest version the Echo Dot that effectively includes a watch.
Settings and additional services like Alexa
We start with the first configuration, for this It is imperative that we download the Energy Sistem Multiroom Wi-Fi application (iOS / Android). This is where we are going to use the device for the first time, linking it to our WiFi network and adjusting certain sections. We will not necessarily have to continue using it often, although it should not be deleted. Once inside the synchronization system and the possibility of adding the device is practically automatic. Once you have accessed our WiFi network We must log in to Amazon to link it with Alexa and we have everything ready.
As of this moment we have a smart speaker with Alexa, therefore it is able to attend to our usual orders such as the management of home automation products or simply play music on Spotify to our liking. Although with Alexa we will have access to Spotify, I recommend using the Multiroom WiFy application to give it access to Spotify Connect and thus avoid possible problems. Notably If you are an iPhone, Mac or iPad user, you will be able to play music directly through the AirPlay protocol that works in this and other devices of the Energy Sistem Smart Speaker range. If we opt for Bluetooth, we simply click on the button represented by three lines, we will get access to the Bluetooth pairing and it will appear directly in our list.
Sound quality and functionalities
It's an alarm clock, don't forget it, that's why it counts with two buttons that will allow us to assign even two different alarms. In the same way, we have a "night mode" that dims the screen and even turns it off if we wish. When Alexa is active, its icon lights up on the right side of the screen, so we will know if we can make requests. These are some of the things we can do:
- Listen to music on Spotify and other platforms like Amazon
- Ask Alexa to manage our alarms (or manage them by hand)
- Ask Alexa to wake us up with a specific radio or song
This Wake Up from the series Smart Speaker by Energy Sistem I was surprised by being equipped with two stereo speakers that sound quite good, loud and clear, capable of filling a double room completely. Perhaps it does not have such enhanced hems, but we must not forget both the size and the fact that it will be perched on our bedside table, so too powerful bass could make what we have perched, as well as the mobile device fall when we are charging it. In this case, the Qi charger has also surprised me, its 5W power is good to charge it every night without heating the device or causing the battery to suffer, you also have the alternative of charging it by its own USB if you wish.
The Qi base has a fairly wide range of action so placing the phone on it is not going to be a nightmare. Notably having two microphones Alexa responds well in almost any situation.
Pros
- Materials and design in line with its range of smart speakers, minimalist and easy to place
- The amount of functionality that a single device has
- The price is lower than that of all products separately
- Spotify Connect, Alexa, AirPlay, Bluetooth 5.0 ... who gives more?
Cons
- I miss fast charging via USB
- Can be great for certain coffee tables
- Go just low, although the reason is understood
In short my experience With the Smart Speaker Wake Up from Energy Sistem I have to say that it has been quite favorable. The sound quality is enough to fill a room in a standard way, the design and materials are quite successful and the huge amount of functionalities they have make it a very interesting product. Honestly, it has been difficult for me to find negative points since there are no devices with which to compare it. To put some but I would say that I miss fast charging via USB. What I am sure of is that if you buy a Qi charger, a stereo speaker with Alexa, Spotify Connect and AirPlay and a separate alarm clock it will cost you more than the € 79 that this Smart Speaker Wake Up from Energy Sistem costs both on its official website as directly in this link, In addition, you are sure to find juicy offers on Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Christmas.

This alarm clock has not met my expectations, it is not a smart alarm clock, it is an alarm clock with alexa, an alexa capta also.
In the alarm clock section, it is nonsense that a device that incorporates alexa cannot be operated with alexa, alexa's spirit is to operate devices with only her voice and that you don't have to touch buttons, I have an intelligent alarm clock and I turn off, turn on or I dim the display, turn on or turn off alarms, turn on the radio, lower or raise the volume, turn on or turn off the light it brings, it serves as a lamp too, etc, etc only with Alexa and I don't have to turn on the light to see the buttons It's a simple alarm clock, I don't use alexa's alarm clock because if the wifi goes off it won't ring and I've already had problems with the company for doing maintenance at night and cutting the internet and therefore disabling alexa.
In the alexa section it does not comply either, it does not support spotify, if you want to listen to spotify you have to activate it with your mobile and pass the sound to the device that is detected as a wifi speaker but it does not allow you to configure your spotify account so again you need physical interaction by part of the user and another important failure is that it does not support setting it up in multiroom to listen to the same thing in all the alexas you have, another failure that is not trivial.
In the communications section of alexa another fiasco, it does not admit communications, that is; You cannot make calls to other alexa devices, whether they are yours or your contacts, nor drop it, so you have to forget about the direct intercom function.
Nor does it allow you to make announcements for all your echos, I have an echo plus in the living room, an echo input in the study, an echo flex in the kitchen and an echo dot in my daughter's room and it is a function that I use a lot so that sound a message at all echoes.
The whisper mode does not work in this device, it tells you that it is activated but it hits some berrios that makes you deaf, it does not sound in a whisper although it tells you that it is activated and that is essential for something that will most likely be in the bedroom , is an alexa that looks like a prototype of the first.
In the sound section, it meets good bass without distortion, the wireless charger is fast charging for phones that support it.
I did not like it as an alarm clock and neither did I like alexa, especially as alexa since it brings a very limited version, I do not recommend its purchase at all.
