Oh, I did also order a Roku to replace my old slow Fire stick, but Amazon lost the package. Their way of getting back at me for ordering a Roku instead of another Fire stick?
Were your Dots and smartplugs packaged together? I've received my smartplug but no Dot3 yet - seems rather inefficient to ship them separately...
