Amazon’s Echo Hub gets a customizable new look and Ring’s AI features

Amazon released a free software update for its Echo Hub devices this week, introducing a significantly revamped home screen interface. This update aims to provide a cleaner and more customizable layout, allowing users to display more smart home information and controls at a glance. The Echo Hub, which launched in 2024, previously offered limited customization options for its home screen. In addition to the interface overhaul, the update integrates Ring's artificial intelligence features, enhancing the device's smart home capabilities. Users can now access these new features without any additional cost. The company has been actively enhancing its Echo devices with AI capabilities, following the earlier integration of Alexa Plus AI support.
