Amazon Show useful?

Hi!

Searched a bit here, but can’t find any recent information, so I will ask again. Can you use the Amazon show devices with Home assistant and if so, what can you do? Could you have your dashboard on it? Can you integrate cameras? Etc…

Hi, Yes, with the internal Webbrowser named “Silk” you can use the dashboard. It looks nice on the echo show 15 device but works also an the smaller echo show 8. The echo show 8 is a littlebit slow, but to display a dashboard it is okay. With echo show 5 i have no expirence.

To your question with the cameras: i did not try this, but you can trigger events when you use node red with alexa. So you can trigger an automation or something else when your echo device has something to report. With this i think its maybe possible to get the camera.
