    It’s a great speaker only thing I didn’t like was that I wasn’t able to turn on my Nest Thermostat.

    Switched from Siri to Alexa. Seems no one is supporting Siri HomePod much. Sad.

    Got this to compare with my HomePod and the sound isn’t as good. I also found Alexa to be much more buggy than Siri even though Alexa can do more. But Siri is much more reliable with common requests.

    Great product but had to return. This hub only works with ZigBee devices. I have both ZigBee and ZWave devices. Hopefully the next version is more compatible

    Stops Working

    Bought this product with high hopes. It stopped responding without pushing the button or unplugging and plugging it back in. Called Amazon and their customer support was AWFUL! All they suggested was unplugging and resetting. After the second time with the same issue we returned it to Best Buy and got a new one. Rinse and repeat...lasted 2 days and same issue. Each time we called Amazon they were clearly reading off a script because they didn’t listen to anything we’d say and when told unplugging it didn’t fix it they said, “Ok...I want you to unplug it and see if that fixes it.” After two Echo Pluses from Best Buy and a replacement from Amazon directly, the same issue kept happening and in multiple locations in the house so we returned it and went with a Dot which has worked great! Also, this was supposed to work as a hub for extra smart devices like the light bulbs it came with. None of the three actually did so we had to buy a Phillips Hue Hub to get our bulbs to work. Overall, doesn’t work as advertised, stops working every 2-3 days after a reset, and Amazon’s customer support is horrible! Stay away and just buy the cheaper Echo Dot.

    Unresponsive after only a year of use

    Despite a year of near-perfect use, it became finicky and occasionally unresponsive right as the warranty expired.

    doesn't easily meld with other smart devices. they each still need their own apps. too much hassle and busy work.
