Amazon Echo (4th Gen)

The Amazon Echo (4th Gen) is Amazon's flagship smart speaker featuring a spherical design with premium sound quality and built-in Alexa voice assistant. The distinctive orb shape houses a 3-inch woofer and dual 0.8-inch tweeters for rich, room-filling audio with Dolby processing and stereo sound when paired with a second Echo.

The built-in smart home hub supports Zigbee, Matter, and Thread protocols, allowing direct connection and control of compatible devices without additional hubs. Zigbee support enables pairing with thousands of Zigbee sensors, bulbs, and switches. Thread border router capability extends Matter device connectivity throughout your home.

WiFi 6 connectivity ensures fast, reliable communication with your network while Bluetooth enables streaming from phones and tablets. The local voice processing option keeps some voice commands on-device for faster response and enhanced privacy. The temperature sensor provides ambient readings for smart home automations.

Alexa enables voice control of smart home devices, music playback from multiple streaming services, timers, reminders, information queries, and thousands of skills. Intercom functionality communicates with other Echo devices throughout your home. The LED light ring provides visual feedback for Alexa listening, processing, and notifications.
