Now With Alexa+
The Echo Show can pretty much become the central hub for all the smart devices in your home. Echo devices are driven by Alexa+ which allows you to set routines or make voice commands to control your lights, door bell camera, thermostat, and more all from one place. Ask Alexa to dim the lights a bit when you’re going to put on a movie, or to turn up the heat if it feels a little chilly. With the Echo Show you can even ask to see whose at the door and pull up the live footage of your door bell camera in front of your house.
When you’re not actively engaging with the Echo Show, you can set it to default to being a digital photo display. Load onto it an album of photos of your favorite people and memories to cycle through throughout the day. You can even have Alexa do the hard work and curate the album for you, or to pull up a specific photo you want to see.
The Amazon Echo Show supports video calls. It uses an auto-framing features that allows you to move around throughout the room and have the camera continuously track you, keeping you front and center. You can even pull up the Echo Show’s camera feed on your phone when you’re not home to check in with your pets.
Amazon has both the Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 11 in two different color variants. You can pick out either the graphite or the glacier white models. Both versions are currently on sale for up to 40% so choose whichever best match’s your home aesthetic.
