Amazon Echo Show 8, $79.99 (Was $149.99) Amazon See It You can control smart-home accessories using an app on your smartphone, but a smart speaker with the screen is an even easier way to go. The Echo Show 8 works with Alexa, Amazon’s smart home assistant, which allows you to operate it using your voice. Alexa can answer questions, set timers, play music, play games, and control smart home accessories. We like the Echo Show 8 because it displays information on its touch screen in addition to voice commands. Additionally, you can view a video live feed from compatible security cameras and video doorbells on the display.
