I bought one on eBay, thinking maybe I'd make a joke video on how to secure your voice assistant: with a clapper! Clap to turn on the Echo or whatever, wait 27s for it to boot, say 'Alexa, what is the weather, then clap to turn it off.
No - the clapper will kill the power to it, so it won't be able to respond. You need to add a Google Nest device that will respond to your request for claps.
