I’ve been wanting something like this for so long!!

I just installed an Amazon FireHD 10 on my wall with Home Assistant just 6 months ago. Not sure this is better, but it looks great, and I'm sure it's much simpler.

Other Smart Home Hubs cost around $400. The Samsung smartthings station also works as a matter hub with ZigBee and thread and that is 80 dollars. The Smartthings station supports more ZigBee devices then the Echos with Hubs.

can’t wait for them to cancel it next year

Alexa start up Skynet

So basically, it’s an Echo Show 8 minus the speaker and camera, but it costs $50 more 🤷🏻‍♂️

When will they make it so you can name your device any name you want

I hope it will come in Black or other colors.

This guy is an aggressive hand talker.

Will this work with Z-wave devices?

the only thing interesting about this that my echo 8 (that's small enough to sit on my desk) can't do is the multiple camera live stream - so unless its compatible with my NVR its not worth it.

Will this be another screen for paid advertisements like the echo show?

Currently using the Pixel Tablet with Sharp Tools to do exactly this - not as user friendly to configure, but infinite flexibility if you're willing to put in the time. The fact that you can detach the tablet and use full Android is a nice bonus.

Wait, I thought this was an Amazon keynote, not an Apple keynote. Thank you SJ junior.

Waiting for this But 8” screen?? Why not 10 or 15” 8” seems small for this type divice

Which security alarm displays the keypad on this or any echo show?

Wow an echo show, how progressive

What was the smart lock on the door they had in advert?

I would love a product like this (sucks that we use the Google ecosystem) but the one thing I see right away in the video and the marketing pictures... Why is there so much dead space on the dashboard? It's only an 8" screen to begin with, then you an inch of white space for the clock at the top, you have 2 inches on the left for the list with a lot of empty space, then you have bug buttons at the bottom with big gaps around them. Even the camera tile has a huge top border. You won't be able to see anything in the video feeds unless your standing right on top of it. Not to mention that one of the points of having a touchscreen hub/controller is convenience. If you have to scroll through pages to find a light because the buttons are so big on 4-5 fit on the screen, it's no longer convenient.

Thought they were finished with hardware?

Can’t you already do this on a phone?

I’ll take one in black please

Hope this works with eufy products

time to replace ADTs panel with Echo Hub

Hey CNET! Any news regarding the Amazon echo hub?? Could you help us getting a release date?

Why not have this replace the echo 15? 8" is way too small. Hopefully echo 15 will have all the same capabilities. Or alot of owners going to be upset thier bigger 15 is obsolete with something with half the screen size.

Why do I need more dedicated hardware like this? I want to be able to do this from my tablet or my phone... from an app. I dont want to interface with something on the wall. What am i missing? Maybe if i had tons of gizmos ... Amazon designed this device for its “best customer,” those with 20 or more connected smart home devices who perhaps find it all a bit too much to manage scrolling through endless device lists in the Alexa app. Why would the less than right but extremely annoying couple wait until they got home before turning on the heat? Doesnt that defeat the purpose?

They never show connecting cables.

Worst part is! I live in Austria. They want 300€ the usd and euro are neck and neck. What a rip off

Why not just build it into the TV?

Yeah right

too large bezel😅😅😅😅

Why do tech presenters always speak in this same way? It's so...earnest. I find it so odd and funny.

Was almost going to consider it then she said she’s a seachickens fan apple here I come

What a sad world, screens everywhere it will be difficult for new generations

Witch hubs are 400 dollar? But face the truth...Took them 8 years to hang it on the wall, just like the OG concept before the smarts.... Good Amazon found it out .....

Google ecosystem way better 💯
