About
The Amazon Echo Hub is a wall-mounted 8-inch touchscreen built specifically for smart home control — not a speaker with a screen attached. It displays live device status tiles for all connected Matter, Zigbee, and Alexa-compatible devices, features a built-in Thread border router to extend mesh coverage, and runs Alexa+ for natural-language voice control. The slim profile installs flush to a standard outlet or in-wall mount for a clean permanent placement in any room.
