Do you have an area of your home where you’d like to have greater control with the lighting? It could be a work area, study area, the kitchen, your bedside, etc. This Amazon Echo Show 8 2nd Gen and Philips Hue Smart Color Bulb Bundle allows you to take control. The mid-range smart speaker has a screen that allows you to control the light bulb and other smart home devices in your home, as well as see images, videos, video calls, and footage from a connected security camera. Do all that for 66% off.
The 8″ HD screen with stereo sound will connect Alexa with video calling and messaging. You can place a video call to others who have an Echo device with a screen or just have the Amazon Alexa app. Announcements can be made to other Alexa devices throughout your home as well.
You’re in no way limited to communication with this device, as you can also watch TV shows, movies, and the news. Also, listen to radio stations, podcasts, and audiobooks. Display your photos, too, to use this Echo as a pseudo screensaver.
Of course, the Amazon Echo Show 8 works well to control the Color Ambiance A19 Medium Lumen Smart Bulb, 75 Lumen. Install the bulb anywhere, and use Amazon Alexa hands-free control to set the mood. Direct Alexa to dim the lights or make them brighter. Turn them on or off as you enter a room or leave your home. Add more bulbs around your house to control even more lighting.
Of course, the Echo device works with all your smart home devices. You can adjust the thermostat, and see who’s on your doorstep – whether it’s a friendly face, another Amazon delivery, or a solicitor you wish to dismiss quickly – saving you from a trip to the door.
Don’t worry about security and privacy, either, as you can turn off the microphones by tapping a button and close the built-in shutter to cover the camera. It can stand on its own or sit on an adjustable stand as well (sold separately).
Save 66% and get this Echo Show in Charcoal or Glacier White along with the smart light bulb for just $61.98.
