    The video quality is poor. It is not as quick as getting a Samsung tablet. The ease of use is not as good as a Samsung or Apple tablet.. I know it's a hub so it works well with the other EcoShow devices, but I feel that value $180. It's way too high for limit options and the apps aren't normal apps

      Hello EltonL. Thank you for your feedback on the Amazon Echo Hub Smart Home Control Panel. I understand your concerns about the video quality, performance speed compared to Samsung tablets, ease of use, and the value at $180 given the limited options and non-standard apps. The Echo Hub is specifically designed as a dedicated smart home control panel rather than a general-purpose tablet, which explains the differences you're experiencing, as it focuses on centralized smart home management with Alexa integration for controlling compatible devices, viewing security camera feeds, and managing routines from a wall-mounted interface rather than high-definition media consumption or multitasking like traditional tablets offer. While the Echo Hub excels at integrating with Ring security systems, Echo Show devices, and other Alexa-compatible smart home products, it has a more limited app selection since it's purpose-built for smart home control rather than general entertainment or productivity, and for customers seeking broader functionality, faster performance, and standard app access similar to Samsung or Apple tablets, a Fire HD tablet or traditional tablet would be more appropriate. I appreciate your detailed feedback about the performance and value considerations, as it helps clarify the Echo Hub's specific use case versus general-purpose tablets. AmazonDevices

    Set up was easy but that was it. Have camera's by kasa, blink, eufy and wyze, some would connect and show camara feed and some wouldn't, now amazon owns blink but that camara would not connect to hub to show feed, now thats crazy, them some would connect and othet times would not. Hub would turn off and rebot for no reason when asking to show camara feed. System is slow so had to return it, more wasted time.

    Far better than google nest. Integrates seemlessly with all the devices of our household. Best feature was when it whispered back to me around 1:00am in the night when I told it to turn off the lights which actually scared me xD

    Great little machine, however, maturity of Alexa as a smart home platform hasn't been improve for years now. Even with all the smart home standards that this hub support, what is the use if the platform itself omit basic smart home functions? No Youtube Music, no automated, no turning off hunch for everything (you have to turn off hunch individually for each device, try doing that if you have more than 30, it gets annoying real fast).

      Hello DonTuazon,
      I am sorry to hear you were not satisfied with the Echo hub. The Echo Hub is primarily used as a central control panel for smart home devices, offering a visual and touch-based interface for controlling and managing devices like lights, locks, and security cameras. It also serves as a voice-controlled smart display, similar to other Echo Show devices, but with a more streamlined focus on smart home management. Hope this helps, have a nice day! AmazonDevices
