As a refresher, the Echo Hub is a smart home controller housed in a small Fire tablet-like device that you can choose to mount on the wall. It makes controlling a smart home incredibly easy; All you need to do is touch its eight-inch touchscreen and you'll be able to adjust smart thermostats, lights, and even security devices like video doorbells. What makes it even more convenient is its compatibility with Matter and Thread, so you can also connect it to other smart home platforms besides amazon Alexa, although, admittedly, it integrates better with other amazon devices.
All in all, the Echo Hub is a useful little device that makes the smart home more intuitive for everyone in the household to navigate, from tech-averse relatives to toddlers. It also helps that you can even use the Echo Hub to play music and stream videos, but without ads and a camera like an Echo Show smart display for more privacy.
