Review: Perfect dedicated smart home panel - This is precisely what I was seeking: a dedicated smart screen specifically designed for home automation, rather than attempting to repurpose a tablet or another Echo device. With approximately 12 smart home devices integrated into my system, I utilize Home Assistant as my central hub. To optimize functionality, I don’t rely on the built-in Zigbee capabilities of the panel; instead, I selectively expose the devices I want it to access through Home Assistant. This level of control ensures that I can tailor the panel’s functionalities to my needs. The panel itself is a well-thought-out size—neither too large nor too small—allowing for easy placement in various locations around my home. One of the standout features is the ability to customize the menu extensively, which enhances usability. If you have a Ring home alarm, this device is particularly advantageous because it allows you to eliminate the need for a separate alarm pad; everything can be seamlessly managed through the smart screen. While I haven't yet explored direct integrations with the panel, features such as Matter support and Zigbee provide a solid foundation. These are emerging standards that suggest the device will be future-proof, allowing new users to embark on their home automation journeys with confidence. Simplicity is critical in home automation, and a reliable panel like this effectively resolves many challenges by providing immediate access to smart home integrations, making it easier than constantly reaching for your phone or relying on voice commands. There aren’t many alternatives available for a dedicated smart panel, and it genuinely feels like this product is a stellar addition to the Alexa ecosystem. Although a tablet could serve a similar function, this smart screen comes pre-configured for automation, significantly reducing setup time and complexity. Another practical feature is that the display activates automatically when someone approaches the panel. While I could tinker with setting up a tablet to achieve something somewhat similar, this device is ready to go out of the box. It also includes the option for wall mounting, which contributes to a sleek and modern aesthetic. I wholeheartedly recommend this product. Normally, I am quite discerning when it comes to tech, but I genuinely appreciate what desertcart has accomplished with this device. It’s a well-designed, straightforward product that is likely to meet the needs of both experienced users and those new to home automation alike.
Review: It's excellent, just what I was hoping for and more. - I've just brought the Echo hub on Thursday 22nd of February 2024. I really like it, it's slightly thicker than a tablet but not by much. I like the fact you can see live streams of four different cameras at once, I really do like the widgets, shows me my Hive Heating, all my lights, my robovac everything is easy to find. I like the display, I think this will work great in my Smart home. The more I use it the more I like it. The wake words you can have in the UK are Alexa, Echo, Computer desertcart and finally Ziggy, Ziggy is available on all Alexa Devices. I will update my review once I've had time to test it fully. I've just ordered the stand for it now, later on I might have it built into the wall. I already own one 10 inch Echo Show 3rd generation, four 8 Echo Show, 8 2nd gen, and one 8 inch Echo Show 1st generation and finally one Echo Flex. Please don't be put off with the bad reviews if you check they haven't even purchased this Echo Smart Hub. Why some say this isn't as quick as tablet for I don't know as this isn't a tablet and it's not meant to be. I really like the widgets, if you have a smart home I would recommend this to anyone, if you don't like it you can always send it back. Update. This is really great I can see four cameras at once I use it more than my Echo Show 10 3rd generation or my Echo Show 8 2nd generation, it dos everything and more, I have noe customised the bottom of the screen, and I also have a lovely background on with a full size clock with the day and date on. You can customise the wallpaper and the type of the clock you want. What I really like it so much quicker at showing me my ring doorbells, outside and my indoor cameras as well. Definitely worth buying if you have a smart home.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still brand new
*by B***T on 2 March 2024*

As soon as Amazon announced this and after reading up on it I was really interested in seeing what this can do, I've built up a fair collection of Echo connected devices I'm a bit of a tech geek and as this is a brand new device that Amazon have released I've read the 1 star and up reviews, So I'm still playing about with it and yes there have been occasions where it freaked out when asked to do something but it didn't go totally full on melt down, With all of the security features that are included with this after another one or two updates hopefully it will be a great main hub for a smart home especially with all of the different companies smart home equipment it can pair with, Granted unlike the show 8 it replaced playing music the show wins hands down unless you add the speaker for the hub that's sold separately but I already have something I listen to music on, So it may not be for everyone or it might not have a feature that other countries have right now but I'm sure once you get it set up exactly right for yourself and your home you may like it I like the option to tell it to turn the screen off so you don't have random information scrolling across the screen but as I've said I've only just started with it I'm sure I'll be changing things on it as I go along hence the 4 star review i know some people thought it might be like a tablet but it can only be fitted to a wall or stand which mine is on once I got it secured on the stand I actually like it, One thing I did have trouble with to start off with was the touch sensor on the screen sometimes doesn't pick up what you're pressing but like I said hopefully that will improve with updates but so far I'm happy with it.
