Echo Show 8 display Best gift for the smart home
Amazon just recently released its all new, third-generation Echo Show 8, which boasts major upgrades from its previous models, including a better 13 MP camera, a faster processor, a sleeker design, spatial audio, and more. In addition to providing Alexa assistance on a variety of tasks, the Echo Show 8 can be used to make video calls, stream content, display photos, and, most importantly, double as a smart home hub.
Users can connect the Echo Show 8 to their other smart home devices, including cameras, lights, plugs, and more from compatible brands, such as Zigbee, Matter, and Thread, giving them the ability to control their entire smart home ecosystem from one device. For this reason, if you know someone who already has some smart home devices, this piece would be the perfect addition to round out their ecosystem.
