You really don’t need anything in order to get it up and running but it sounds like you would want a couple of Google Home Mini in order to achieve what you’re trying to do with the Echo. They all simply connect to your home WiFi and then to each other and to your mobile device via the Google Home app, pretty easy.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Lenovo Smart Display have a few features the Echo Show does not. That said, there are some things the Google Smart Display is currently missing: - The Echo Show is louder than the Lenovo Smart Display. The ugly JBL unit promises to change that and I'm hopeful that Sony and Google will offer better. - The GSD does not display lyrics of music. - The GSD cannot join a group. - The GSD cannot receive calls like the Echo system with the Connect device. - In the Ambient Photos mode it is not possible to view a slideshow of photo from this date in history. - GSD's will not display an all day event from your calendar. - Local news is much more limited than the Echo's offerings. - The GSD has no Echo-type "drop in" feature.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You would look at the google mini as compatible
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You just need a free gmail account. In my opinion Google Assistant is better than Amazon Alexa. You won't regret your purchase. It's the best assistant on the market. You can optionally subscribe to YouTube TV and play a bunch of cable channels by asking assistant.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Well it depends on what you want to do with it. There are lots of smart home devices that don't require a separate hub. But you can get recipes, YouTube, YouTube music, maps, internet searches, news, and timers all for free if you are fine using what Google provides.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Nothing! You just need a Google account and the free google Home app on your phone. And yes, Youtube will not work on Any Amazon product, Google has blocked them. But Youtube does work on this device.
