I bought the Hub to replace a Show 8. The problem we had with the Show was that its microphone was very frustrating and you had to shout at the device or repeat multiple times to get it to respond. I even tried a new Show 8 about a year ago and returned it because it wasn't any better. The Hub solved the communication issue entirely. Nice, attractive design and it integrates well with our Ring security.
Another nice, complete review. Thanks, Erin. I've never been a big fan of this kind of "attached to the wall" display as a controller for automations. or for displaying current conditions and the status of sensors because it seems I'm always at the furthest reaches of the house when I want to use it. Personally I would much rather have a smaller screen in my pocket. Maybe I'm just lazy. ;)
I've been looking for an out-of-the-box hub. I'll be turning off the talking to it and leave it so my guests have a way to control things in my house when I am not present without really being able to go shopping or anything else. I'll give this a try. Thank you for the review!
Very helpful. Confirms my feeling that the Hub is ideal for us. We’re days away from moving to a newly-built house that comes equipped with a smart thermostat and Ring cameras. We’ll bring our 11 Echo speakers, Eero mesh system, and Hue lights then add Ring security devices. Seems as if Echo Hub will allow centralized control of everything, skip adding Ring keypads, and cost significantly less than the ClareOne option offered by the builder.
Hi Erin, very interesting! As an apartment dweller I have no use for this device, and I would suggest that based on your review it is a device in search of a market...RogerC 4/16/24
Alexa in general links to Philips Hue really well now as well, making setting up lighting MUCH easier
Fantastic!

It's basically the Macintosh of Smart Home control screens.

Hoe you like it, and thanks for the view!
We got our new Echo Hub at Christmas. Couldn't agree with you more on your review. Still, it fits with us and love our new Echo.
Thanks for doing reviewing this hub! Love your review Erin - keep up the good work!
Thank you for the kind words.
thanks for a solid review - would recommend a lower camera angle for a more personal and professional feeling
Noted, thanks!
three power supply failures so far, one of them caused damage to my hub and was replaced by amazon
Wow!
What about other camera systems. Riolink, Eufy and other cameras, after all Ring is the most expensive and subscription based
Can it be mirrored to a TV?
Appreciate the review and your honest feedback at the end of the video!
Glad it was helpful!
Not bad but not that great. I was hoping if this thing can read sign language. 🤔🤭
Looks like my Google Hub screen. Whats the difference between them? As usual a great informative video. 😎🇸🇪
Not sure why, but my Echo Shows keep the feed from
My Wyze cameras up for an hour or two.
Woah! Interesting! Wish mine could to that
