Amazon’s Echo Hub just became the control freak your smart home needed
The Amazon Echo Hub showing the main screen.

Smart homes are supposed to make life easier. In reality, they often leave you juggling half a dozen apps just to dim the lights, check who’s at the front door, and figure out why the thermostat suddenly thinks you’re living in the Arctic.

That’s the problem Amazon’s Echo Hub has always tried to solve. It’s essentially a dedicated touchscreen for your connected home, bringing your lights, cameras, locks, thermostats, alarms, and routines into one place. Now, Amazon is giving that experience a significant refresh with a redesigned interface that feels like the smart home dashboard many people have been waiting for. The update is rolling out as a free software upgrade for existing Echo Hub owners, and while it doesn’t change the hardware itself, it may make the device much more useful day to day.
