Amazon’s Echo Hub just became the control freak your smart home needed

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.
