Pros & Cons
Pros
Did not have any issues with my ring alarm (except for a short response delay when changing to away) or ring cameras. No issues connect to honeywell thermostat, kasa smart plugs/switches/dimmers/cameras and nest doorbell. Has been a good bridge for he... Read More
It's a nicely designed hub, without any advertisements to clutter your screen. Bought a media recessed box kit for the usb power adapter connection. Wish it had a screen lock for times when we have repair people around, but otherwise we really like it... Read More
All smart devices are easily accessible and categorized. Alexa responds quickly to voice commands. I have 50 iot devices around my home connected with alexa.
They marvel at it’s capabilities, power, and ease of use. For those of us in technology, 1st gen is always the beta to receive feedback so it can enhance the product.
Cons
Screen is too small and the widget icons are too big. The gui is slow and the software is buggy. Editing the screen is a nightmare.
There is no ethernet connection, only usb-c. Also, it is unclear if the ethernet portion is used or if this is just wifi.
My router seems to be a bit overloaded with devices on the 2. It still suffers from everything this device suffers from, slow connectivity, lag, restrictions.
When trying to change volume on several echo speakers, it says an update is required. There is no support for echo devices from amazon, so i guess we can hope for a software update that fixes it.

The bad-- sonos is not supposed at a preferred speaker - hopefully that will get fixed soon---smart devices favorites doesn't update.
Price
This product is a great value for the money as long as your expectations are reasonable.
Going to purchase additional echo hubs for the rest of the bedrooms when they go on sale on amazon prime day.
First off, the price of $180 should be considered when setting your expectations.
We’ve all seen the amazon product listings that show 1 item for $14 and 2 for only $43.
Shipping
After waiting forever for the release, it finally arrived!
Packaging/appearance
And yes, i wrote recessed "electrical box" because all the recessed outlets i found were too small to fit the echo hub outlet c... Read More
Competitiveness
From breslin, crestron and x-10, every system has it's shortcomings.
I have not found anything even close to this wall-mounted solution in the market so compatible with other brands (and have rese... Read More
Most reports indicate that the alexa division inside amazon is under-performing and not overly profitable.
Yet, when comparing it to every other smart home hub i've used, the echo hub takes the top spot for me.
