This disclosure describes techniques and systems for encoding instructions in audio data that, when output on a speaker of a first device in an environment, cause a second device to output content in the environment. In some instances, the audio data has a frequency that is inaudible to users in the environment. Thus, the first device is able to cause the second device to output the content without users in the environment hearing the instructions. In some instances, the first device also outputs content, and the content output by the second device is played at an offset relative to a position of the content output by the first device.

Accessory for a voice-controlled device

Systems and methods for button arrangement and action assignment are disclosed. One or more buttons and, in examples, a connector may be arranged in various ways. The buttons may be associated with one or more actions to be performed by the buttons and/or a device associated with the buttons based at least in part on the arrangement of the buttons. The buttons may be interchangeable and may allow for performance of various functionalities associated with multiple electronic devices.
