So the echo doesn’t have this hub? 
Will the echo+ work with all home devices such as say my samsung smart tv? I 
know the echo and the dot don’t without something else

Hello Simon,

The Echo Plus includes a Smart Hub so one can control home devices.

What's the difference between the echo and the echo plus?

 I have seen the dot, and for it's size it's pretty impressive

Hello Everyone,

As this is not an Amazon Echo support community, I have no intention of 
flooding the list with Amazon Echo articles.  

However, given that the Amazon Echo products can and do greatly enhance the 
lives of so many, including those of us who are blind or low vision, and given 
that all of the features mentioned in the following article are completely 
VoiceOver accessible from within the iOS app, I have decided to post it here.  

If you find that you would like to see any or all of the features listed in 
this article made available to Siri/HomePod, consider sending a 
suggestion/request to Apple.  

Please keep in mind that the following list of commands is in no way 
comprehensive.  For example, the article does not mention the native onboard 
audio equalizer that is now available.  As a result, I can simply instruct 
Alexa to increase or decrease the bass or treble levels on my Echo Plus.
Another example is that the article does not mention that one can use Alexa to 
create new custom Pandora radio stations.  In effect, one can use Alexa to 
completely control both Pandora and iHeart Radio without the need to ever open 
the iOS apps.  All one need do is to simply link their respective accounts to 
Amazon Alexa.

While the Echo Plus sells for around $150 in a retail store, it can be found 
for as low as $100, online.  The Echo Dot, at Best Buy, yesterday was selling 
for approximately $35. 

Enjoy and I hope you find the information useful.

Alexa to do. (Dad jokes included.) By Taylor Martin, December 18, 2017 3:20 PM

Amazon's (L to R) Tap, Echo and Echo Dot speakers do so much with the Alexa 
assistant.
Amazon's voice assistant, Alexa, is infiltrating your home, your beach trips 
and even your ride to work. Now that there are many ways to interact with Alexa 
-- with the Tap, Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Look, Echo Show, Dash Wand and the Amazon 
Fire TV -- you might find yourself talking to her more often.

The list of commands is expanding rapidly, as is the number of third-party 
services and devices that Alexa officially (and unofficially) supports.
Here is the (almost) complete list of Amazon Alexa commands.

Summoning Alexa
By default, Amazon's connected speakers have the same wake word. All you have 
to do to queue up a request is say, "Alexa." In the Amazon Alexa mobile 
application or at echo.amazon.com, you can change the wake word to either 
Amazon, Echo or Computer.

If you have an Amazon Tap, Dash Wand or the Amazon Fire TV voice remote, you'll 
need to press a button to wake Alexa.

Amazon updated the Tap with a hands-free mode that you must enable in the 
settings. The only wake word available to the Amazon Tap is Alexa.

The complete list of Alexa commands

The list of Alexa commands is expansive and grows with every new service or 
device it supports. Alexa isn't perfect, but it's pretty great at understanding 
natural language, so you don't always have to speak the commands exactly as you 
see them below. Many commands work when worded several different ways or even 
with words omitted.

When you consider the possible third-party commands through Skills, essentially 
the apps of Amazon's Alexa, the list goes on even further. To learn what 
individual skills are capable of, visit the skill's page from the Amazon Alexa 
app or alexa.amazon.com.
Here are all the native Alexa commands.
Basic commands
•   Ask for help: "Alexa, help."
•   Have a conversation: "Alexa, let's chat."
•   Mute or unmute: "Alexa, mute" or, "Alexa, unmute."
•   Stop or pause: "Alexa, stop" or, "Alexa, shut up."
•   Change volume: "Alexa, set the volume to 5," "Alexa, louder" or
"Alexa, turn up/down the volume."

Show
The newest addition to Amazon's Alexa lineup is the Echo Show, the only one 
with a touchscreen display. This means you can tell it to show you things.

Amazon's (L to R) Tap, Echo and Echo Dot speakers do so much with the Alexa 
assistant.
Amazon's voice assistant, Alexa, is infiltrating your home, your beach trips 
and even your ride to work. Now that there are many ways to interact with Alexa 
-- with the Tap, Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Look, Echo Show, Dash Wand and the Amazon 
Fire TV -- you might find yourself talking to her more often.

The list of commands is expanding rapidly, as is the number of third-party 
services and devices that Alexa officially (and unofficially) supports.
