Amazon's Echo Hub is one of the best smart displays I've tested. I can say that confidently after using it every day over the past month. Its focus on snappy touchscreen controls makes it feel like it's hardwired to all of the best smart home devices I own. Whether I crank up the heat or flick on a smart light, controlling my home from this panel feels as instant as playing with a dial or light switch.
The difference is that this bright display can listen to voice commands and turn into an alarm panel, thermostat controls or even a TV on the fly to fit naturally into any space. Amazon came close to perfecting the Echo Hub out of the gate with this first-generation device. However, some areas can use work. Read on to see what I like and what I don't about this $180 gadget and if it's worth your hard-earned money.
