A high-tech home is one with a lot of smart home devices that would allow you to control via your smartphone. But you don’t need to depend on your phone every time you want to manage your smart devices. You can make your home even more high-tech with Amazon Echo Hub 8” Smart Home Control Panel with Alexa, Amazon’s first smart home control panel.
OK. It is kind of like a tablet stuck to a wall (which it probably is). It is much like the Echo Show, except that it is wall-mounted. Anyhoo… The Amazon Echo Hub 8” Smart Home Control Panel with Alexa makes it easy to connect, view, and manage all your devices, from your Ring security system to the smart speakers.
Setting up, according to Amazon, will be a breeze. During setup, devices connected to your Alexa account will automatically populate the dashboard. After that, you may add, remove, and rearrange the widgets however you desire. If you have multiple speakers, you can control audio and volume throughout your home from the device.
The Amazon Echo Hub 8” Smart Home Control Panel with Alexa also serves as a security center of sorts. With Multiview, you can view up to four live camera streams at once. You can also arm and disarm your Ring security system through the hub, and use the Alexa app to manage compatible cameras, locks, alarms, and sensors when you are away.
The device is compatible with thousands of connected locks, thermostats, speakers, and more. It does not matter if your devices are WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Matter, Sidewalk, or Thread devices, they can be synced seamlessly with the built-in smart home hub.
You can learn more about the new Amazon Echo Hub 8” Smart Home Control Panel with Alexa on Amazon.com where you can also secure a unit for US$179.99.
