The Amazon Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen) is aimed at those looking for a smart speaker with a screen that can be used to play music, perform tasks such as shopping for products or checking the weather, interact with family and friends, and display videos and photos. It is also intended for people who want to use their voice to control their home through Alexa, Amazon's digital assistant.
Make hands-free video calls to friends and family who have an Echo Show or the Alexa app. Make announcements to other compatible devices in your home and use Drop In as an intercom between rooms or with favorite contacts.
In combination with compatible bulbs, thermostats, and much more, the Echo Show 8 allows you to control your smart home using your voice or the interactive screen. You can also schedule routines or even start them with your motion. When you enter a room, the lamp can turn on or start playing music - just like that.
Gain secure access to the built-in camera to look into your space whenever you want. You can also set up the free Guard feature in the Alexa app to receive mobile notifications if the Echo device detects the sound of a smoke alarm or glass breaking while you are away.
Stay updated with today's news and sports highlights. Watch TV shows, movies, music videos, or movie trailers from Prime Video, Netflix, and many more. Stream music from Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Spotify.
Use Amazon Photos to turn your home screen into a digital photo frame. See your photos rotate with other home screen content or as a slideshow. Prime members also have unlimited photo storage in the cloud.
Alexa can help children learn and grow while having fun. And with free parental controls from Amazon Kids, Alexa will automatically provide kid-friendly responses, filter explicit songs, and block shopping. Discover how children can use Alexa, watch helpful instructional videos, get answers to frequently asked questions, and much more.
Alexa and Echo Show devices are built with multiple layers of privacy protection. From the microphone/camera off button and the built-in camera shutter to the ability to delete your voice recordings, you have transparency and control over your experience with Alexa.
The Smart Hub is a device that serves as a central control point for your smart home devices. It typically connects to the internet and uses wireless communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee to communicate with other smart devices, such as smart lights, thermostats, security cameras, and more.
The smart hub can be controlled via a smartphone app, a web interface, or even through voice commands using a virtual assistant like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. It can also automate actions based on user preferences, such as turning on the lights when someone enters a room or adjusting the thermostat based on the time of day.
One of the advantages of using it is that it allows for easier control and automation of multiple devices from a single interface.
Overall, a Smart Hub can help simplify the management of a "smart home" and enhance the user experience.
A smart hub is a device that connects multiple smart devices in your home and allows you to control them from a central location. Some of the advantages include:
Connects with smart devices via Wi-Fi network. Supported by smartphone.

POSITIVES:
-Easy installation
-Incredible sound and volume
-Clear image that can be seen from a distance, so you can see clearly and comfortably from the couch
-Excellent 13Mpx camera useful for viewing the space when you are away, for monitoring the elderly, or as intercom for the baby. You can hear and speak clearly. You can also call other users!
-Plays Greek radio stations, Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, etc.
-Easy operation for automations, such as turning on the vacuum cleaner when you are away, turning on lights, or even starting the radio as soon as it detects that your phone has returned home, turning on the air conditioning when the temperature goes above a certain degree, charging the computer or phone when the battery falls below a certain percentage, starting the dishwasher or dryer, and many more...
-Plays photos like a digital frame from your phone, Facebook, or even from the Amazon Photos cloud where you can store them for free up to 5GB!
-You can send voice messages to other users who have the Alexa app on their phone or on a device.
-Functions very well as an alarm clock and adjusts to the space, for example, when you turn off the lights, the brightness decreases and you can simply see the time.
-Recognizes different individuals and suggests different things, essentially learning your voice to distinguish between users.
-You can send announcements or notes to other users, for example, if your mother has a device and you are in a different house, you can tell Alexa, "Alexa, send an announcement to my mother that I will be late," and it will go to your contacts, find her, and display the announcement on her Echo Show, while also informing her verbally.
-Displays and speaks upcoming appointments or tasks from your calendar.
-Child protection features.
-Connects to WiFi or Bluetooth.
And all of this hands-free, simply with your voice.
NEGATIVES:
-Since it is not officially available in Greece yet, the package does not include an adapter for Greek sockets and you will need to purchase one (€1).
-Does not have a Greek menu and you cannot speak to it in Greek, obviously.
-In the radio, it occasionally plays 1-2 advertisements in English, but not to an exhausting extent.
-In YouTube, it displays a list and does not play the song automatically, but you have to select it. For example, if you tell Alexa, "Play the song 'X' by 'Y' on YouTube," it will show you the relevant list. However, I have not found a way for it to play the song automatically.
-Only operates with electricity and requires WiFi
