    They are both responsive to each other and it gives me convenience. I don't have to turn off the lights and all I do is lay down and ask Alexa to turn off the light. All my lights are connected to my Echo Plus.

    It works well and sounds decent, but the hub portion of this is not as easy to use as Samsung.

    Alexa was a great Christmas gift for my wife. The whole family uses it for music and trivia and so much more. I highly recommend this product and have already had two additional family members purchase it

    Great product. I have a camera hooked up in the living room and connected to it. I have the thermostat and lights hooked to it as well. It allows me to see movement in my living room when I'm not at home.

    It has very good voice recognition; even with the grandchildren throwing all kinds of crazy questions at it. Speaker quality is top of the line. Everyone that has tried it out at our house loves it.

    We have several, this one was a Christmas gift for our daughter. We love the convenience of creating lists and some home automation. Once you get started, you come up with more things to use it for.

    I'm a big fan of the Philips hue bulbs and the Amazon echo. App for both is very easy to set up. The products were easy to sync. Very happy with this bundled deal and no need for a separate hub.

    This works perfectly for the smart home connecting to all your devices. Coupled with Amazon prime this has it all. Voice speaker clearly understands you from up close and from across the house.

    You simply must have a virtual voice activated assistant. I can not recommend this product enough. If you don’t have one, you will eventually. If you can’t afford you, you aren’t a Big Baller.
