It’s excellent, just what I was hoping for and more.
I’ve just brought the Echo hub on Thursday 22nd of February 2024.
I really like it, it’s slightly thicker than a tablet but not by much. I like the fact you can see live streams of four different cameras at once,
I really do like the widgets, shows me my Hive Heating, all my lights, my robovac everything is easy to find. I like the display,
I think this will work great in my Smart home. The more I use it the more I like it.
The wake words you can have in the UK are Alexa, Echo, Computer Amazon and finally Ziggy, Ziggy is available on all Alexa Devices.
I will update my review once I’ve had time to test it fully.
I’ve just ordered the stand for it now, later on I might have it built into the wall.
I already own one 10 inch Echo Show 3rd generation, four 8 Echo Show, 8 2nd gen, and one 8 inch Echo Show 1st generation and finally one Echo Flex.
Please don’t be put off with the bad reviews if you check they haven’t even purchased this Echo Smart Hub.
Why some say this isn’t as quick as tablet for I don’t know as this isn’t a tablet and it’s not meant to be.
I really like the widgets, if you have a smart home I would recommend this to anyone, if you don’t like it you can always send it back.
Update.
This is really great I can see four cameras at once I use it more than my Echo Show 10 3rd generation or my Echo Show 8 2nd generation, it dos everything and more, I have noe customised the bottom of the screen, and I also have a lovely background on with a full size clock with the day and date on. You can customise the wallpaper and the type of the clock you want.
What I really like it so much quicker at showing me my ring doorbells, outside and my indoor cameras as well.
Definitely worth buying if you have a smart home.

A good first iteration
I really like this Alexa home hub from amazon, it’s a all in one device for controlling devices in your home works with most of the smart home companies Philips hue, Yale, Tp-link etc. Easy to set up and use if you link it to your amazon account. One star lost because it’s not as customisable as I had hoped, although it’s much better than their current show range (5,8,10,15) It’s future proof due to it being a hub and working with thread and matter devices and as you would expect WiFi,Bluetooth and zigbee. This is definitely a complementary product to your current echo devices (if you have any) I certainly would not recommend it for entertainment eg music/videos due to the poor quality speakers, I personally think it fits somewhere between a echo show 5 and a echo show 8.

Exactly what they said it would be.
I have seen the early reviews from some buyers and don’t understand what they were expecting. This is described as the Echo Hub, smart home control panel and that is exactly what it is. It isn’t a singing dancing Echo Show 15 it is a control panel. It does exactly what you would want it to do. It enables easy access to your devices, your groups, your routines, multi-room music control and syncs amazingly if you have Ring cameras. The multi camera live view for us is amazing as we have 2 stick-up cams in our back garden covering different areas that we can now see at the same time when we want to keep an eye on our dogs.
For our house I am the gadget mad person and love the Amazon devices. We have so many routines set up with lights, plugs, cameras etc and many different music groups for various occasions. For my husband, even though he uses everything he has never really utilised what we have and the Echo control panel is what I have been waiting for as this makes it so much easier for him to see groups, routines etc and understand exactly what we have and enables him easy access without having to go through various sections of the Alexa app. It does not have all the settings of the Alexa app but has screen access to everything you set up in the app, it’s like a chapter page of a book with the Alexa app being the full chapter.
If you are looking for another smart display for your home then this is probably not the device for you and you would be better with one of the other Echo Show devices which all do similar but are not focused just on your smart home devices.
If like us you love the smart home set-up and have many devices (we have well over 120 devices) then this is a great addition to your smart home. No doubt over time it will also have many improvements as with all the Amazon devices that I have personally never been disappointed with.
I will say again for everyone this is not a smart hub it is a smart home control panel. If you buy it knowing what you are buying then you will not regret it.
