The Echo Plus facilities all of a new higher-end sound facilities built into a new Echo, along with a built-in intelligent home hub that aims to make a product an even some-more essential partial of a connected home.
The pivotal disproportion here is that a device works with a series of opposite intelligent home inclination right out of a box. There are already 100 opposite partners on-board, including GE, Kwikset, and Philips — in fact, a new device can ship with a Philips Hue lightbulb right out of a box.
Interestingly, a Echo Plus looks a lot some-more like a bizarre Echo than a new one – borrowing a same high and slim plasticky build, rather than a swappable cloth covers. It’s a bizarre preference on Amazon’s part, given what looks to be a pierce toward some-more reward in-home products with a new Echo.
