The Echo Hub looks like a tablet with its eight-inch touchscreen, but is mounted firmly on the wall. Its display switches on automatically when you approach it, and its dashboard, a kind of virtual dashboard, has control surfaces for lighting and heating as well as security cameras.
The setup is quick and the Echo Hub is ready for use after just a few minutes. The operating concept meets expectations. The software is specially adapted for device control; no other functions distract from this purpose. It can replace various other smart home hubs if desired.
