GE Launches New Kitchen Hub, a 27-Inch, Netflix-Equipped, Widescreen…Microwave

If you own a microwave and use Wi-Fi, you’re probably aware that these two things don’t mesh well (pun intended). The impact of running a microwave while using Wi-Fi tends to vary depending on how much EM your microwave leaks and which frequencies your Wi-Fi network is using. If you’re on a 5GHz network, you may not see much interference, but a 2.4GHz system may choke and die when you cook a burrito, depending on the position of your hardware and the layout of your house. Microwaves and Wi-Fi, in other words, are not two things you would ordinarily combine.

Appliance manufacturers have been trying to find use cases for IoT-enabled refrigerators, toasters, and laundry machines for years, leading to an endless series of jokes about trying to surf the internet on a refrigerator. After years of attempting to sell consumers on the idea of an automatic fridge that can monitor individual zones of temperature and re-order frozen yams after you hate-eat the last bag to avoid food waste, GE has opted for a more straightforward approach: Stick Netflix on it. Seriously: The new Kitchen Hub is a 27-inch, Wi-Fi-enabled microwave with Netflix.

Before we dive into this, I need to be clear about which GE product we’re discussing. GE has announced a new version of its Kitchen Hub. This version integrates a microwave and offers features like AI-assisted computer vision to check when a dish has finished cooking. This product will not be available until late 2020. It can also function as a hub for Z-Wave-enabled devices and for GE’s smart appliance products.

Right now, if you visit GE’s website, the product you’ll see is an earlier version of the Kitchen Hub that’s actually a hood vent, not a microwave. It lacks the internal camera and AI computer vision, for obvious reasons, and isn’t Z-Wave compatible. Apart from that, it appears to have the same set of features. The hood vent Kitchen Hub runs Android 8.0, but I haven’t found anything on what the microwave Kitchen Hub will use. The hood vent is $1,200, so it’s safe to assume the new microwave will sell at or above that price point.

The New Kitchen Hub includes the Flavorly recipe app powered by SideChef. This shouldn’t be confused with Flavourly, the craft beer delivery service cum curation app. It also shouldn’t be confused with Flavory.com, which bills itself as “an online food magazine chronicling culinary stories of interest to foodies of the Central New York area,” and hasn’t been updated since 2011. None of this has anything to do with the microwave, strictly speaking, but as a western New York resident, I’m not surprised that a blog dedicated to the culinary delights of Syracuse has been dead for the past nine years. No offense to the founder, who self-identified as a magazine journalism student. That particular career path is its own punishment these days.

Let’s get back to the 27-inch widescreen microwave. The hood vent’s aspect ratio is technically 1.80, not the 1.77 of 16:9. We have no details on the microwave. Imagine the exciting discussions we can all have in the future regarding new opportunities in microwave aspect ratios as they relate to film content! Here’s GE:

The next-gen Kitchen Hub from GE Appliances is a 27-inch smart touch screen, 1.9 cubic foot microwave and ventilation combo designed to easily fit in the space above the range. Consumers can use cameras to interact with friends and family, snap and share their culinary masterpieces, and even determine when their meals are done while viewing the inside of the oven from their couch. And if cooking isn’t entertaining enough, the Kitchen Hub Micro provides access to popular apps, such as Netflix and Spotify. The addition of the microwave into the next gen Kitchen Hub allows the user a full-service kitchen experience.

This quote is the only time in the entire document where GE refers to the “Kitchen Hub Micro.” It’s referred to as the “next gen Kitchen Hub” 12x in the same press release, including in a quote by the director of the SmartHome appliance division by GE. The name of the product may be “Kitchen Hub Micro.” Unless it isn’t. Also, GE’s PR department couldn’t be bothered to actually upload a photograph of what the new system looks like. They re-used the photo from the 2018 launch instead. The photo below is from Cnet:

Image by Molly Price, Cnet

This is also the first time I’ve heard the term “full-service kitchen experience” used to describe an appliance with Netflix, Spotify, integrated cameras, and photo sharing. I’ve clearly missed some back issues of Panopticon Quarterly, not to mention Bon Appétit.

There appears to be virtually zero technical information available on the current or next-gen Kitchen Hub as relates to their technical specifications or Android capabilities. One of the product reviews on GE’s website for the original Kitchen Hub notes that the unit doesn’t ship with any kind of user manual that covers these functions. Both Kitchen Hubs are touchscreen-enabled and have an integrated speaker, but there’s no mention of Bluetooth support. That’s a meaningful feature omission in a situation like this. If you’ve spent any time in a kitchen, particularly a “full-service kitchen experience” sort of kitchen, you’re aware that kitchens can be rather loud. Dishwashers, microwaves, certain types of food prep, and running water all make their own contributions to ambient noise. Bluetooth integration isn’t a ridiculous feature to want in a device intended to operate in what is likely the loudest room of the house when in full use.

I actually can see a use for an appliance like this; it’s just not a happy one. If your life keeps you trapped in a kitchen to the point that you can’t ever get a moment to watch a movie or TV show, having a TV in the kitchen might be nice. This hardware seems purpose-built for stressed homemakers of considerable means who never get to leave the kitchen and people who seek cooking validation via social media. I can’t even tell if those are overlapping niches or not.

We don’t have any information on what kind of Wi-Fi solution the new Kitchen Hub will use. There seem to be three options here: It’s a dual-band solution that switches to 5GHz mode to use Wi-Fi while the microwave is running, the unit is shielded well enough internally to prevent interference with a Wi-Fi chip installed in the same enclosure, or the microwave can’t stream while it’s also cooking food. GE hasn’t disclosed anything on the Wi-Fi at this time.

Finally, the “next gen Kitchen Hub Micro” is a 1.9-cubic-foot microwave. The least expensive 1.9-cubic-foot microwave available on Bestbuy.com is a $250 Samsung model. I’m not claiming that’s the cheapest 1.9-cubic-foot microwave around, but it gives you some frame of reference for what a microwave of that size costs if you take it off the shelf. Is Netflix and camera integration worth $950? Certainly not to me. But the fact that the hardware is getting a second generation implies that at least somebody bought the first one.

The feature image for this story is the older Kitchen Hub, not the new “next gen Kitchen Hub.” ET regrets the fact that GE PR deliberately provided an inaccurate picture of their own product without disclosing this fact.

A Curated List of Interesting and Curious CES 2020 Highlights

The Consumer Electronics Showcase in Las Vegas is a spectacle I’ve experienced (in some cases, endured) for over 20 years. But this year was different. Why? It’s not just about consumer electronics anymore. We’re finally witnessing the convergence of physical and digital “things” and spaces in everything…and I mean everything.

Following are some of the more promising, curious and also interesting takeaways from CES…

TVs: There were OLED and 8k TVs that are better than what we can actually see, with sizes hitting a whopping 292 inches (“dubbed The Wall.”)

Plant-based Pork at CES?: Impossible Foods debuted its “Impossible Pork” and the texture was realistic and the flavor was pretty darn close.

youtube

From Smart Fridge to Smart Microwave: GE introduced a “Kitchen Hub,” a microwave/range hood featuring a 27-inch screen, food monitoring camera, Google Assistant, SideChef guided recipes, outward camera for video calling and more.

youtube

eMobility: Segway is bringing “Wall-E” to life with its self-balancing Floating Chair to help you get around town in comfort. I mean, why stand or walk?

youtube

Toilet-Paper Innovation: When you’re really in a pinch, Charmin introduced Rollbot, a cute little robot that can deliver toilet paper on-demand with other curious features.

youtube

My Personal CES Favorites

Flying Ubers: Hyundai showed a full-scale flying car designed for “Uber Elevate,” its flying taxi service launching in 2023.

youtube

Sony’s Concept Car: Yes, you read that right. Sony surprised with a debut of an electric concept car featuring an entirely new take on what the interior of a car could be (featuring Sony products of course.)

youtube

Delta: Delta became the first major airline to exhibit at CES, promising to make travel “magical.” A futuristic billboard (Parallel Reality) at the airport that delivers personalized information to each passenger (in their language) based on a boarding pass scan. One board can accommodate up to 100 travelers at a time! Or how about boarding with biometrics or virtual queuing? They also promised free inflight wi-fi, inflight movies you can start before the flight and “binge watching” buttons. I say bring it on!

Beauty 2.0: L’Oreal introduced Perso, an AI-powered device, about the size/shape of a small thermos, to create personalized skincare, lipstick and foundation on demand. It’s like having your own Sephora!

youtube

Intelligent Prosthetics: BrainCo demonstrated an AI-powered prosthetic arm that detects muscle signals that tell the arm what you’re trying to do. Over time, the built-in algorithm learns and starts to emulate natural movement. #bionic

2020 Industry Trends for Businesses

Oftentimes, executives attending CES are focused on trends without understanding how they really impact their business (internally and externally). Personally, I like to take a human-centered perspective (customers and employees) and work backward toward strategy.

At CES, I shared my latest research to help humanize important trends for executives, “11 Digital Trends Shaping Customer Experience and Brand Innovation in 2020.”

The conversation focused on how digital disruptions such as 5G, AR/VR, AI, personalization/privacy, digital ethics, future TV, and location intelligence, are reshaping customer behaviors and expectations. The crux of my talk was to not only spotlight trends, but also entertain and inspire the audience to see how THEY too can use disruptive technologies to better understand people as they evolve, innovate, and ultimately make products and customer experiences more meaningful.

These are just 11 of the 30 trends keeping your clients up at night. To help, please feel free to share my slides or let me know if you or your clients have any questions.

That’s a wrap on my CES coverage. Thank you for your attention.

There were way too many technologies to see let alone cover. But one thing is clear, convergence between digital and humanity, in every facet of our work and personal lives, is only accelerating. There are incredible applications ahead. There are also potentially troubling trends that are inevitable. Either way, we need to understand the impact of disruptive technologies beyond technical capabilities and advancements to make positive, productive and innovative decisions about the future of work, society and humanity.

This Smart Toilet Features Personal Butthole Recognition

Sometimes you write a headline and just stare at it, wondering what it says about you, your priorities, and your place in the universe. Sometimes the desire to inform people about the world they live in runs headlong into real questions about the acceptable limits of knowledge.

This is one of those times. I find myself wondering whether ’tis nobler to cloak the discoveries of madcap scientists with euphemistic language and imprecise phrasing, or I should take the bit between my teeth and make a full entry in the Captain’s Log, as it were. I invariably opt for the latter, which probably says something about me.

Okay. Here goes. Scientists at Stanford designed a smart toilet that can analyze both feces and urine in various ways, including checking for telltale signs of certain intestinal problems. While I cannot precisely articulate the various parasites, conditions, cancers, blockages, or extremely unwise bedroom activities that can be diagnosed by a scatological analysis, PCMag notes they can “identify signs for various cancers as well as gut disorders and liver diseases.”

My brain, going into lockdown mode to prevent a Google Search.

But this is no ordinary porcelain descendant of Thomas Crapper’s wizardry. This is a smart toilet. With cameras! They’re for taking pictures of the contents of your toilet “which will then be uploaded to your health provider’s secure cloud storage for analysis.”

Daniel Jackson disapproves. Image from Stargate SG-1, by MGM

Do not mistake me. I am aware that it is important to have such analysis performed betimes and that being aware of one’s bodily functions is an important part of physical health. It is important to be aware of changes to one’s gut, bladder, or kidney behavior, and monitoring effluvia is one way adults do that. It’s not fun. It’s just life.

But notwithstanding this objective fact, the phrase “which will then be uploaded to your health provider’s secure cloud storage for analysis” fills me with a horror I can scarcely describe.

Why Is There A(n) Anus Camera Sphincter Scanner?

Because researchers want it to be capable of differentiating between users, and they decided you couldn’t always trust that the person who flushed the toilet would be the same person who used it. So the scientists in question decided to create a stoolproof method of detecting even the stealthiest deuce dropper.

And the show has reached a new low. Image by Saturday Night Live.

They call it an analprint. If that hurts you to read, I want you to know it hurt me just as much to write. There’s a pandemic ravaging the planet, everything is on fire, and I am burdened with the knowledge that this exists. My fiancée has wedged herself into the furthest corner of her desk and is staring at her monitor in mute horror. Christmas is canceled. Sex is canceled. I’m probably canceled. So it’s not just you. I want to die. But I’m not going to die. I’m going to write about tech news, even if it’s shitty.

“We know it seems weird, but as it turns out, your anal print is unique,” senior author, professor of radiology, and plumber of the depths of sanity Sanjiv Gambhir told Stanford Medicine.

There’s no word yet on whether healthcare providers plan to bring this product to market, or what it would cost. Out of 330 people surveyed by the Stanford team, 37 percent of respondents indicated they were “somewhat comfortable” with the idea of it. This raises obvious questions about the nature of the test question. For example: “Would you feel safe using a toilet that could analyze your feces and urine to detect if you had cancer?” scans very differently than “Would you buy a toilet that sent your doctor a video of your butthole every time you take a dump?” I’m not saying that the second question is better than the first, but I think it gets a bit closer to capturing the essence of what is happening in this process.

I’m not sure it’s possible to make an “Internet of Shit” joke after this. This is literally an internet-connected device you shit into.

I’m sorry, folks. I don’t know where we go from here.

"Lights, TV, even the backyard: how the Assistant helps you at home"

Our homes are both sanctuaries for relaxing after a long day at work and a hectic place when rushing out the door in the morning. The Google Assistant can help you better manage your day in a personalized way for your family, whether you’re on a smart speaker, Smart Display (like the newly launched Google Nest Hub Max), Android or iOS phone, or TV. But to give you help at home, the Assistant needs to work with all kinds of devices and appliances, so that you have the choice to set up your home with products that best fit your needs.

At CEDIA 2019, we're showing how devices from our partners work together with the Google Assistant in your home. These include cameras, doorbells, lights, thermostats, security systems, vacuums, washers, locks, AC units, air purifiers, refrigerators, ovens and so much more. In fact, you probably have a device in your home today that works with the Assistant.

While we’ve made improvements to help you more easily set up up your home, it can still feel intimidating, so we encourage you to check in with installation experts like SnapAv, Audio America, Wave Electronics, Dow Electronics, and Capitol Sales, that can provide help with your device installation and setup. We’re also announcing a new collaboration with Control4 to bring the Assistant to its Smart Home OS, making it easier to control lighting, locks, fans, thermostats and blinds. So when you say, “Hey Google, turn on the big game,” the Assistant will turn on your whole media room, dim the lights and close the shades, and even select the right sports channel and set the perfect volume level.

Here’s a look at how the Assistant can be more helpful to you at home.

Lighting

Whether you're in bed about to go to sleep or on the couch ready to watch TV, turning off and dimming the lights is just easier using just your voice. We think lights are the best first place to dip your toes into the smart home, and the Assistant works with hundreds of smart lights, including GE, Lutron, Lifx, Philips Hue, Sylvania, and TP-link. We also offer a Smart Light Starter Kit that makes the set-up process easier and smart home accessible to everyone.

Entertainment

Ask your Assistant to play your favorite music or podcasts or to just catch up on the news across a dozen of smart speakers from Sonos, Bose, Altec Lansing, Anker, Bang & Olufsen, JBL, LG, Marshall, Mobvoi, Onkyo, Panasonic, and Polk. You can also use the Assistant to help with movie night at home. With added support from smart TVs from Samsung, Sony, Hisense, LG, Philips, TCL, and Skyworth; streaming devices from Chromecast and Roku; and receivers from DISH and AT&T, you can ask the Assistant to search for action movies, turn up the volume and dim the lights before getting started.

Home security

The most trusted home security brands, including ADT, August, Honeywell, Nest, Schlage®, Simplisafe, Logitech, Vivint Smart Home and Yale, offer a broad range of security systems, video doorbells, smart locks, and security cameras that work with the Google Assistant to improve safety and increase peace of mind. Before going to bed or if you’re out on the road, you can always make sure your house is secure by just asking the Assistant to lock the doors and arm your security system.

A/C

Smart thermostats from Nest, Carrier, Rheem and others work seamlessly with the Assistant and are a way to automate temperature adjustments based on your habits. And you can even say “Hey Google, set the thermostat to eco mode” to make your home even more efficient and save you money.

Front and backyard

Let’s face it, doing yard work can be a pain. With lawn control and monitoring systems from Rachio, Rain and Orbit you can use simple voice commands with the Assistant to schedule when to water the lawn. And next month, Traeger Grills will add support for the Google Assistant to make grilling in the backyard even easier.

And everything else in between

To make everyday tasks a little bit easier for you at home, we’ve added even more appliances from Bosch, GE, iRobot, LG, Siemens, Whirlpool®, and other brands that can help you take care of everything from starting the washer to vacuuming your home. And with a Google Nest product or any other Assistant enabled devices, cleaning is as easy as, “Hey Google, clean the kitchen.” Your Roomba will take off and tidy up for you. The Assistant can even work with products like Hunter Douglas window treatments, LG, Midea or Toshiba AC units and Dehumidifiers, with support for Kohler, Delta, and Alert Labs coming soon.

The Google Assistant gives you an easy, hands-free way to control your home with just your voice so you can spend less time managing things and more time enjoying time relaxing, whether it’s helping you dim the lights, change the room temperature or check on the front door from the comfort of your couch.

How you can Set Up a Good Kitchen

http://tinyurl.com/y6eggxhk Serghei Starus/Shutterstock Your kitchen is filled with home equipment, however they’re dumb. Expertise, like sensible audio system, lights, ovens, and taps, could make cooking, cleansing, and grocery procuring simpler. Creating a wise kitchen isn’t arduous, and everyone in the home can benefit. Right here’s how. Why a Good Kitchen? Your kitchen is a room of productiveness and mess. You prepare dinner your meals, clear your dishes, and perhaps even eat in your kitchen. Each cupboard, utensil, and gear contributes to your kitchen expertise, for higher or worse. And including intelligence to your cooking area can enhance your recipes and velocity up the work. Kitchens can host a number of the most helpful smarthome expertise in your house. You should buy sensible ovens that take the guesswork out of cooking occasions and recommend recipes it’s possible you’ll not have tried or a wise faucet that you could activate and off by voice, or ask to pour a set quantity of water. However it’s not all large, flashy new home equipment. A sensible show just like the Nest Hub or Echo Present can convert measurements for you, set timers, or present the following steps of a recipe you’re engaged on, and sensible lights are a reasonable method to enhance the lighting in your kitchen. For instance, sensible mild switches can prevent cash by turning all the things off at scheduled occasions, and sensible LED strips can mild the darkish areas beneath a cupboard. Each kitchen is exclusive, however the benefit of making your sensible kitchen is selecting simply the expertise that you just profit from and skipping all the things else. Begin With a Good Speaker or Show This Echo actually helped reduce down the time to make a grocery checklist. Josh Hendrickson Good ovens and taps are spectacular, however the very first thing we suggest for each kitchen can be the most affordable: A sensible speaker like an Amazon Echo or Google Home. Or, higher but, a wise show just like the Nest Hub or Echo Show. Echo Dots and Google Home Minis can usually be discovered within the $30 to $50 vary, relying on gross sales, and the performance they supply goes nicely past the fee. Google’s Nest Hub (previously often known as the Google House Hub)and Amazon’s Echo Show price a bit extra at $129.99 and $229.99, respectively, however add loads over a fundamental sensible speaker. With a wise speaker, you’ll be able to set a number of named timers to maintain monitor of your meals prepare dinner occasions. In case your recipe requires a measurement you don’t have, you’ll be able to ask for a conversion, like “what number of teaspoons in two tablespoons?” or “what number of cups in a liter?” when it’s essential convert to a different measuring system. Good audio system additionally function an intercom for those who unfold them all through your property, so you’ll be able to simply announce when dinner is prepared. And to maintain your self entertained, you’ll be able to hearken to music when you prepare dinner. And so they can velocity up the grocery checklist. Fairly than spend an hour or two as soon as every week wanting by way of what provides have to find out what it’s essential purchase, you may make a grocery checklist as you go. Each time you utilize the of one thing, you’ll be able to inform Google or Alexa so as to add “ketchup” or “cumin” to the procuring checklist. You’ll nonetheless must doublecheck issues when it comes time to purchase groceries, however the job might be shorter. A sensible show, like Amazon Present or Nest Hub, is even higher. Good shows have all of the options listed above, however the added display screen provides you visible elements to your timers, conversions, and may also stroll you thru recipes with seen steps. Acquired a Nest Hub? You’ll be able to name up a YouTube video together with your voice for some fast cooking directions. And you probably have a video doorbell, one of the best smarthome gadgets you can own, a wise show will allow you to reply the door with out having to cease cooking. Some firms are beginning to launch sensible shows particularly designed for the kitchen, too. At CES 2019, KitchenAid introduced the $200 Smart Display. It’s successfully a Nest Hub that’s splash resistant and comes with unique cooking content material. And GE’s Kitchen Hub, although costly at $1200, is a large touchscreen that hangs proper above your range. RELATED: Why Video Doorbells Are the Best Smarthome Gadget Good Lights Full the Kitchen Typically it’s simpler to interchange a single mild swap as a substitute of a bunch of bulbs. Josh Hendrickson Each room of the house can profit from sensible lights, and the kitchen is not any completely different. However you don’t must go as far with sensible lights as you would possibly in different rooms. Whereas coloured mild bulbs are nice on your lounge and bed room, they received’t add as a lot to the kitchen. As a substitute, you would possibly think about both white smart bulbs or a smart switch. In case you have a number of fixtures in your kitchen all managed by a single swap, the latter route could be cost-effective as smart switches usually run within the $25 to $60 vary. Some sensible bulbs, like these by Philips Hue, price that a lot on their very own. In case you have cupboards over counters, like most kitchens, sensible LED strips run alongside the underside of the cupboards to make for wonderful evening lighting whenever you need one thing much less brilliant. Philips Hue LED strips are costly, at $80 for six and a half ft, however they do get pleasure from Zigbee vary and native management. However for those who want to save cash, you might all the time purchase commonplace LEDs and convert them to Zigbee. You’ll spend one thing nearer to the $50 vary and get 16 ft of LEDs. Good Ovens Do the Onerous Work For You June If nobody taught you to prepare dinner, you would possibly discover the duty intimidating or demanding. And even for those who do know to prepare dinner, it’s possible you’ll not take pleasure in it or discover it time-consuming. Good ovens are designed to assist with all these eventualities. Most sensible ovens appear like an outsized toaster oven and work off related ideas. Sometimes they home a digicam pointed on the meals you place within the oven. Synthetic intelligence examines the meals, acknowledges the elements, after which determines an optimum temperature and prepare dinner time. Some sensible ovens have automated cooking applications; you select the dish by way of an app, and it walks you thru steps and winds up the cooking for you. Better of all, with some sensible ovens, you’ll be able to stroll away and regulate your meals by streaming the digicam feed to your telephone or pill. If you happen to’re the sort of one who can by no means bear in mind how lengthy it takes to hardboil an egg, you’ll recognize the simplicity of placing an egg in your oven, selecting hardboil in an app, and strolling away. What it’s possible you’ll not recognize is the worth, however that’s enhancing too. June Ovens used to price an astounding $1,500, however the newest mannequin reduce the worth again to $600. The Brava Oven, nevertheless, begins at $1,00zero and goes up relying on what equipment you need. Most sensible ovens are countertop models, and received’t exchange your full-sized oven. However you may be shocked at how a lot meals does slot in a countertop oven, June’s producer boats that you could prepare dinner a 12-pound turkey as an example. Past strictly sensible ovens, Amazon’s Basic’s Microwave and a few Instant Pots include Alexa expertise for controlling or recipe steering as nicely. For Fingers-Free, Measured Water, Add a Good Faucet Delta An important a part of the kitchen is your sink. You’ll use it to fill measuring cups, pots, and clear your dishes. Inevitably, whenever you’re cooking, you’ll want water, however your arms are full or soiled. A touchless faucet is superb for these events, simply wave your arms in entrance of the sensor, and the water activates. A voice-enabled faucet takes that comfort a step additional. With Google Assistant or Alexa integration, you say issues like “dispense two cups of water” or “flip off.” You’ll be able to even set customized measurements, so for those who commonly fill a container to a certain quantity, you may make the method simpler with a devoted command. Think about saying “fill pitcher” each time you made Kool-aid on your kids or iced tea for your self. You’ll be able to set the pitcher within the sink, use the voice command, and stroll away to work on one thing else with out worrying about overflow. Voice-enabled taps include just a few drawbacks, although. The voice instructions aren’t very intuitive. For Alexa, you’d say, “Inform Delta to dispense one cup of water.” Moreover, you’ll want a handy plug beneath your sink, ideally one not managed by a swap. The most important downside, although, is worth. Delta’s VoiceID faucet runs just below $550. And Kohler’s Sensate, which isn’t out but, will doubtless be priced in an identical space, given it has touchless faucets for $500 already with out Alexa integration. Extras for Your Kitchen iRobot If you happen to maintain any small home equipment or lamps in your kitchen, it’s possible you’ll wish to think about including a wise plug to realize some voice management. Simply plug the lamp or system into the sensible plug, then plug that into the wall. You’ll deal with the remainder of the setup by way of an app. Good plugs are reasonably inexpensive, ranging between $15 and $30, and make a simple method to give dumb objects some restricted intelligence. For recipes that originate exterior the U.S., a smart scale might turn out to be useful. They often join by way of Bluetooth and offer you a readout in your telephone or pill. Simply pour and watch the outcomes in your display screen. At round $20, a wise scale isn’t a major funding however might save effort and time. If you happen to hate mopping the kitchen flooring, iRobot’s Braava mopping robot will alleviate a few of your frustration. Consider this as a moist Swiffer that does the pushing and shifting for you. It’s additionally one of many least expensive robots supplied by iRobot, at simply $170 plus refill pads. The one system we don’t suggest on your kitchen is a brilliant fridge. Producers have executed a poor job of maintaining the “sensible” a part of the fridge, and your equipment that usually ought to final 50 years perhaps susceptible and old-fashioned in simply three to 5 years. That common reasoning ought to apply to any intelligence you add to your kitchen. You wish to be sure that what you utilize provides sufficient comfort to justify any complication. And that the additional tech doesn’t make a tool much less safe and extra vulnerable to failure. However with simpler entry to recipes, conversions, and voice controls, it’s possible you’ll take pleasure in cooking in your kitchen greater than you might have earlier than. !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)}; if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0'; n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script', 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js'); fbq('init', '335401813750447'); fbq('track', 'PageView'); Source link

Smart Home Screens Make a Smart Home Hub

Smart home products are evolving. Historically those commanding the consumer dollar have been more infrastructural elements like connected lighting, smart utilities, and alarms. However, this is shifting as more white goods, kitchen, and bathroom products become sensor embedded and internet connected.

This week sees over 180,000 folks descend on CES in Las Vegas. The show offers some interesting insights into where smart home tech is heading and how makers and vendors can capitalize on the opportunities it provides. Let’s take a look at the latest touch screen innovations:

Voice is Everywhere But Touchscreens Trump Ease of Use

This year consumers are lured by always-on internet connectivity, inherent in voice-activated tech and smart displays. Voice-activated tech has progressed from novelty to the mainstream with estimates that more than a quarter of consumers will use voice-activated digital assistants next year. But while voice connectivity appeals to consumers, touch screen ease is also remaining equally compelling.

Lenovo launched has launched Smart Clock, a tiny 4-inch device that compliments the Google Assistant embedded smart display launched in July. It’s positioned as a bedside alarm and supports voice and touch controls on an unobtrusive 4-inch IPS screen with a 440 x 800 display. The touch screen enables the user to manage daily tasks, view glanceable answers, enjoy music, podcasts, and audiobooks, and control their smart home.

Lenovo launched has launched Smart Clock, a tiny 4-inch device that compliments the Google Assistant embedded smart display launched in July. It’s positioned as a bedside alarm and supports voice and touch controls on an unobtrusive 4-inch IPS screen with a 440 x 800 display. The touch screen enables the user to manage daily tasks, make search queries, enjoy music, podcasts, and audiobooks, and control their smart home.

Touch Screens Make the Kitchen the Home Hub

Samsung’s Family Hub refrigerator continues to innovate and redefine the refrigerator category and set a new standard for connected living. This year we saw some upgrades to its virtual assistant Bixby, a new Family Board on a 21.5” LED touchscreen acts as a digital bulletin board in which members can easily stick notes and photos and even doodle right on the screen.

LG’s InstaView ThinQ smart refrigerator launched in 2018, was also on display this year at CES. It uses the touchscreen to manage your food using LG’s webOS software and Amazon’s Alexa, which will let you tag food with virtual stickers and expiration dates and get automatic reminders. LG has added Drop to its smart fridge touchscreen platform, meaning when a consumer follows a Drop recipe, LG appliances preheat ovens and automate temperatures according to the recipe.

This year KitchenAid unveiled a working model of the KitchenAid Smart Display, a voice-activated touchscreen. The KitchenAid Smart Display will feature a 10-inch display for easy viewing and it will be IPX-5 rated for resistance to faucet water, ensuring a worry-free cooking and the ability to wash and clean the device easily . The device is partnered with cooking platform Yummly, offering home cooks guided video recipe instructions and compatibility with over 10,000 smart home devices that work with the Google Assistant.

GE Appliances has its eyes above your stove with the return of their Kitchen Hub containing a 27-inch touchscreen that runs on Haier U+ Smart Life Platform, enabling the home cook to search for recipes, watch Netflix and control smart home devices. A forward-facing camera lets you video chat using Google Duo, and another cooktop-facing camera means you can capture and post pictures of your meals in progress. It’s prepped for a May 2019 launch. It’s not entirely clear how the device remains undamaged by cooking, but it’s captured the attention of many. Mirrors Provide a New Interface for Touchscreens

Capstone Connected Home has developed a smart mirror with voice and touchscreen capabilities. It gives the user access to google assistant and access to functions such as social media, and google play store. Emails and messages can be composed directly on the mirror, while voice control can recognize six different voices and log users in and out of Google accounts. A 19 x 22 model will be available in the first quarter of 2019.

Taking the technology up several notches, CareOS’s Artemis is part mirror part computer. It recognizes each user and the products (such as makeup) the user is using and can connect them with tutorials to assist with hair and makeup. It also has teleconferencing functionalities and vision tests – allowing you to keep track of any changes in your vision.

The popularity of voice and touchscreen technology in the home demonstrates that consumers are moving away from keyboards and apps. It also highlights the need for coordinated home hubs without the limitations of interoperability. With Amazon and Google both fighting for the consumer dollar through partnerships, consumers will be forced to choose.

New top story from Time: Women-Only Spaces Are Part of a Coworking Craze. Some Might Also Be Violating the Law

On a rainy morning in the Mission neighborhood of San Francisco, women are filing through the arched doors of a old Greek church carrying bike helmets and laptops. Instead of a tithe, the price for their admission to this sanctuary is $250 per month. There won’t be sermons inside, but there is $3 kombucha and restorative yoga and a pumping room proudly decorated with drawings of breasts. There are also tenets that bind members typing away in the chic “female-forward” space upstairs. It’s not a “traditional” coworking space, says Molly Goodson, founder of a new women-only club called The Assembly. “Really it’s all built around women and self-care.”

The Assembly is one of many spaces popping up across the country that cater to particular types of workers, whether it’s women or LGBTQ individuals or so-called ganjapreneurs. As the coworking industry has matured, “niche” locations that don’t intend to be for everyone have flourished. And, in an era when relying on digital connections can make us feel isolated, workers who might not even join a traditional coworking hub are flocking to them, not only for practical reasons, but also to feel less alone.

“It’s incredibly empowering to be in a space where you know everybody here is hustling through their own thing, as women,” says Myisha Battle, a sex coach who is among the Assembly’s roughly 200 members. “Women are often isolated on teams and you’re made to feel like you’re vying for similar positions,” Battle adds, “whereas this feels like leveling the playing field a little bit.” It’s a sentiment with currency among the couple hundred more women who are waiting to get in.

In the last decade, coworking has morphed from a trend into an international industry, with venture capitalists pouring billions into the sector and dominant players like WeWork hoovering up real estate around the world. By 2022, five million people will be working out of more than 30,000 coworking spaces – one million of them in the U.S. – according to estimates from Emergent Research. While these places must offer the bare necessities (Internet, desk, outlet), what really defines them is that they blend work and social life in ways that can’t happen when workers and companies are walled off from one another. That social aspect might take the form of meetups, guest lectures or trainings. Coworking spaces might offer cooking classes or childcare. And the more tailored the membership, the more specific that programming can be.

Founders are heralding the new crop of specialized spaces as a means of fighting the a loneliness epidemic in the U.S. But some membership restrictions are also raising legal questions, suggesting that the end result could also be making our siloed existences even worse. The New York Human Rights Commission recently launched an inquiry into a women-only club called The Wing after media reports highlighted the fact that men were excluded, a practice that could be in violation of a local sex discrimination law. Even if it’s understandable that women would want rooms of their own, these clubs are “bumping up against laws” meant to protect them, says ACLU Senior Staff Attorney Galen Sherwin. Though the coworking context is new, she says, “historically there have been challenges to these types of spaces.”

There is a simple, powerful reason the coworking movement has such momentum: money. Steve King, a partner at Emergent Research, describes the consumer appeal in waves. The first was demand from freelancers who didn’t want to do all their business from home or a coffee shop filled with distractions. The second was startups who would rather rent space by the desk than commit to an expensive lease. The third, he says, is large enterprises like GE and Microsoft becoming tenants in coworking towers, sending their employees to hubs that are more flexible than a dedicated office and, often, more fun for individual workers. (Such clients are also stable renters for the coworking businesses, relative to startups that might quickly grow out of coworking or cease to exist entirely.)

The mass appeal has created an incentive for new coworking spaces to get specific, even within the startup world. Nick Jiang, co-founder of a new San Francisco-based coworking company called Birdnest, argues that the sense of camaraderie at the more established chains has become fractured and “cookie cutter.” For early-stage companies, the appeal has been not just free beer or ping-pong tables, but a sense of shared struggle, he says. Jiang believes being surrounded by established companies makes that struggle feel more acute instead of less. In a sign of just how ubiquitous the trend is getting, Birdnest’s model is convincing restaurants that are only open for dinner to rent out their tables to coworkers during the day. Jiang hopes their price point — $74 versus a typical $350 per month or more — will appeal to very early-stage entrepreneurs for whom “every single cent counts.”

Economic hardship can be bonding, as can the perils of working in a certain industry or coming from a certain demographic. When asked why he is planning to open a coworking space called Serif for LGBTQ professionals in New York City (following a scrapped plan to open up one called Yass in San Francisco), Brian Tran recalls the pains of growing up as a young gay man in Texas. “What media and society showed me were bars and clubs,” he says of places where queer people congregate. He believes a coworking space will allow people to build more “substantial connections” and plans to host events like legal workshops where lawyers help transgender people change their identification documents. “It’s really just creating a space where people can give back to their younger selves,” Tran says.

Tran also describes apps as one of the insufficient means for LGBTQ people to connect. While the Internet has been a game-changer for LGBTQ people seeking answers and empathy, interfaces still aren’t a replacement for physical proximity. King, the research firm partner, has argued that the coworking boom is as much about humans’ social nature as it is about flexibility or cost-savings. The efforts to gather and be productive take countless forms these days: workspaces at rock climbing gyms, shared biolabs, people offering up their living rooms.

Nick Devane runs a company called Pilotworks, which rents out shared commercial kitchens in multiple U.S. cities where aspirational bakers and food-delivery startups can commune. There’s an financial need: setting up your own commercial kitchen as a budding entrepreneur is expensive and risky. But while people may come for the infrastructure, Devane says they stay for the solidarity. “People are striving and growing and contracting, and the support those companies provide to one another is tremendous,” he says. “It’s what keeps our members from failing.” He cites the example of two bakers, who should be competitors, opting to share flour. “There’s a natural clustering effect,” Devane says, “just a desire to transfer ideas.”

Some have even posited that coworking spots are like America’s new churches, giving young people a regular spot to gather as places of worship have in the past. After all, religion is often about shared struggle too, and efforts that coworking spaces are making to help members with pursuits like “self-actualization” are in line with the millennial ethos. “These days being a good human means being productive and contributing,” Devane says, “and living your life’s work.” A job is supposed to be meaningful, whatever it might pay.

Angie Thurston, a ministry innovation fellow at Harvard Divinity School, has researched the modern manifestations of our tribal needs, in a time when people are “less and less affiliated.” She was recently invited to a coworking conference to speak about these very parallels. “There’s such an acute need for community, for a sense of purpose,” she says. “A coworking space becomes something much more than a place to sit and work and not be alone.”

Take The Coven, a new coworking space in Minneapolis that limits membership to women and non-binary individuals (those who may not identify as a man or a woman). After raising about $315,000 through crowdfunding, they had 230 members join in the first four weeks. For $200 a month, The Coven provides the basics, plus things ranging from a prayer room for Muslim members to bathrooms with “an overflow of free pads and tampons,” says cofounder Bethany Iverson. Key among the offerings are events, which revolve around monthly themes like empowerment and body positivity. “There’s not one thing that we’re hammering home,” says cofounder Erinn Farrell, other than “being your whole self.” It may not be religion, but it is a shared vision of how one should live.

Iverson and Farrell come from advertising and say they got frustrated while working to make the local industry more inclusive. “What if instead of trying to create change within our agencies,” Iverson recalls them thinking, “we just went and built a totally new world?” The team makes no apologies about their decision to exclude men from this utopia. Nearly every other space “is a male-first space,” Iverson says. They know that some “men’s rights” advocates are up in arms about the proliferation of women-focused efforts, be it a club or a movie screening, but they say such a response only goes to show their “fear of scarcity and losing power.”

Margaret Austin PhotoAn arched doorway leads members into the Assembly, a women-only club in San Francisco.

While most coworking niches cause little ruckus, some are questioning whether these women-only spaces are being fair. With revelations about workplace harassment still ringing in America’s ears, it makes sense that some women view these spaces as working to remedy discrimination. The hard part is that, while private clubs are legally able to reject applicants who don’t fit certain criteria, exclusion gets dicey when organizations appear public-facing. “Everyone is grappling with the questions raised by the fact that there’s this need these spaces are filling,” says the ACLU’s Sherwin, who works on the organization’s women’s rights project.

The founders of The Coven say they have been legally advised that they fit the definition of a private club. But that doesn’t mean every women-only club will pass the same test. In past cases, courts have found that clubs that thought or said they were private – as The Wing has – were in fact public, thus subjecting them to the same laws that forbid businesses from discriminating based on characteristics like race, sex or religion. That distinction can turn on factors like the number of members, whether the business is trying to make a profit, and whether non-members have access to the site.

Defenders of The Wing have rallied behind the notion that women deserve to isolate themselves if they want to, given the treatment they endure. Others have argued that excluding people based on their sex is a bad practice, however justified it might feel. The ACLU has suggested The Wing “may not be in compliance” with New York’s local discrimination law, which also bans many private clubs from discriminating based on gender. But Sherwin notes that these new quasi-offices also raise “untested legal questions.” It’s possible that the debate will eventually have to play out in court.

In the meantime, women at places like The Assembly will be reveling in their haven, decorated with cacti and stained-glass windows, like some desert oasis in the middle of the city. There is a sense among some members that the very existence of the place is evening a score. “I’m a feminist, so what appealed most to me was working in a space alongside women who were interested in networking in a way that we think of as typically masculine, this clubhouse idea,” says Battle, the sex coach, as she sits on a bench inside The Assembly’s lofty main room. “Historically,” she adds, “women have been on the outside of that.”

New Post has been published on Otaku Dome | The Latest News In Anime, Manga, Gaming, And More

New Post has been published on http://otakudome.com/amazon-announces-new-echo-fire-products/

Amazon Announces New Echo & Fire Products

Amazon has announced new products in it’s Echo & Fire line:

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sep. 27, 2017– (NASDAQ: AMZN)–Three years ago, Amazon introduced Echo and Alexa, offering a new way to interact with technology using just your voice. Today, Amazon introduced the next generation of Echo: the all-new Echo with a new design and improved sound for just $99.99, and Echo Plus with a built-in smart home hub for just $149.99.

“Three years ago we introduced the first Echo, powered by Alexa, with a goal to fundamentally simplify and improve the way customers interact with their homes,” said Tom Taylor, Senior Vice President, Amazon Alexa. “Today, Alexa can make calls, play music in every room, turn on your lights, and even order you a pizza. But it’s still day one, and today we’re making Echo and Alexa even better. The all-new Echo and Echo Plus deliver better sound, all new far-field technology, and new features we think customers will love.”

All-New Echo–Now with a New Design and Improved Sound to Fit in Every Room–Just $99.99

New design

With an all-new compact design, Echo fits easily into any room in your home while delivering next generation far-field performance and improved room-filling sound. Pick from a variety of shell colors and finishes to fit into your home’s décor–choices include charcoal, sandstone, heather gray, oak veneer, walnut veneer, and silver.

Immersive sound

Echo combines an all-new speaker architecture, a dedicated tweeter, a 2.5″ down-firing woofer, and Dolby processing to deliver crisp vocals and dynamic bass throughout the room–all in a smaller design and at an even more affordable price. Alexa can play music from leading services like Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and more.

Second generation far-field technology

The new Echo uses Amazon’s second generation far-field technology, which features better wake word processing, improved beamforming technology, and enhanced noise cancellation. The Echo far-field technology works to detect the wake word from across the room even in the noisiest parts of your home.

All-New Echo Plus– Built-In Hub to Easily Set Up and Control Your Smart Home–Just $149.99

Set up your smart home in minutes

With its built-in smart home hub, Echo Plus makes connecting to compatible smart home devices easy. Just say, “Alexa, discover my devices,” and Echo Plus will automatically discover and set up compatible lights, locks, plugs, switches, and more without the need for additional hubs or apps. This simple set-up works with a variety of ZigBee products from leading brands such as Philips Hue, GE, Kwikset, and more. To help get your smart home started, Amazon customers will receive a Philips Hue smart lightbulb with the purchase of an Echo Plus while supplies last.

More powerful audio and better performance

Echo Plus has enhanced 360-degree omni-directional audio, with Dolby processing, to provide deeper bass and crisper high notes for better audio clarity. You can play music from Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and more. With Amazon Music, you can search for music by lyrics, time-period, or let Alexa pick the music for you. Like the new Echo, Echo Plus features second generation far-field technology for even better performance.

All new Alexa features

Alexa Routines

Routines allow you to automate a series of customizable actions using a single voice command of your choice. For example, say, “Alexa, good night,” and Alexa will turn off the lights, lock the door, and turn off the TV. You can also create Routines based on the time of day – for example, you can create a Routine that has Alexa turn on the kitchen lights, start the coffee maker, and read the weather forecast at 6 a.m. every weekday and at 9 a.m. every Saturday and Sunday.

Routines are compatible with popular Works with Amazon Alexa lights, plugs, switches, and door locks from leading brands like TP Link, Philips Hue, Wemo, and August, and will be available for all Alexa devices including the all-new Echo, the previous generation Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Show, and Echo Plus starting next month.

Improved smart home groups

You no longer need to remember the specific name of a smart device or group of smart devices to control them. Now you can place your Echo and smart devices into smart home groups, which enables Alexa to act intelligently on your request, making your interactions with your smart home more natural and effortless. For example, when you walk into the kitchen, you can now say to your Echo “Alexa, turn on the lights” rather than “Alexa, turn on the kitchen overhead lamp.”

This feature will be available on the all-new Echo, the previous generation Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Show, and Echo Plus starting next month.

Call anyone with Alexa

Four months ago, Amazon introduced Alexa calling and messaging, and millions of customers have started using the feature. Now, Amazon is expanding this feature to include support for free outbound calling to phone numbers within the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Just say “Alexa, call Mary’s mobile,” and Alexa will call Mary’s mobile phone from your smartphone’s contact list. Alexa can also dial phone numbers that you speak to her so that you can reach people or businesses that aren’t in your contacts. Calls to 911 are not supported. This feature is available for all Echo, Echo Dot, and Echo Show customers starting today in the US.

Amazon also introduced Echo Connect, a new Alexa accessory that turns your Echo into a high quality, hands-free speakerphone for your home phone line. Echo Connect works with your existing home phone service – either landline or VoIP. Without touching a single button, ask Alexa to call anybody from your contact list – when you call, they will see your home phone number as the caller ID. When someone you know calls your home phone, Alexa will announce their name from your contacts list–just ask Alexa to answer to start the conversation.

Echo Connect is easy to set up–simply connect it to your home Wi-Fi network and home phone jack or VoIP adapter, and use the Alexa app on your mobile phone to set up Echo Connect. Echo Connect is just $34.99 and will be available later this year.

Echo Buttons introduce new gaming experience with Alexa

Echo Buttons are new devices that deliver ways for customers to play games with friends and family using Alexa. The buttons illuminate and can be pressed to trigger a variety of multiplayer and interactive game experiences. There will be a number of new Echo Button-compatible skills available this holiday season including Sounds Fun with Mike Epps, Buzzer Beater Basketball Trivia with Karl-Anthony Towns, Fourth Down Football Trivia with Philip Rivers, Full Count Baseball Trivia with Buster Posey from Ground Control, as well as Beat the Intro from Musicplode. Echo Buttons will come in a two-pack, priced at $19.99, and will arrive in time for the holidays in the US, UK, and Germany. Echo Buttons are the first of many Alexa Gadgets, a new collection of accessories that enable fun and playful Alexa experiences. Sign up at https://www.amazon.com/AlexaGadgets to receive notifications and updates when Echo Buttons are available for purchase.

Now over 25,000 Alexa skills and new multi-player games

Tens of thousands of developers are building skills for Alexa using the Alexa Skills Kit, and today there are over 25,000 third party skills available for Alexa. Skills add even more capabilities like ordering a pizza, requesting a ride, tracking your fitness, controlling your TV, and more.

Pricing and Availability

The all-new Echo is just $99.99. It is available for pre-order starting today at www.amazon.com/echo and will start shipping next month.

Echo Plus is just $149.99. It is available for pre-order starting today at www.amazon.com/echoplus and will start shipping next month. To help get your smart home started, Amazon customers will receive Philips Hue smart lightbulb with every purchase of an Echo Plus while supplies last.

Amazon also today introduced the all-new Echo Spot which features a stylish, compact design with a screen so Alexa can show you things for just $129.99; and the all-new Amazon Fire TV with 4K and HDR for just $69.99.

Today, Amazon announced the all-new Fire TV featuring 4K Ultra HD, High Dynamic Range (HDR), and Alexa Voice Remote. Forty percent more powerful than Fire TV Stick, the next generation of Amazon Fire TV works seamlessly with 4K Ultra HD or HDR compatible TVs giving you true-to-life picture quality and sound with vivid colors, 60 fps, HDR, and Dolby Atmos audio–all for just $69.99.

With the most accurate voice search on a streaming media player, you can ask your Alexa Voice Remote to find, launch, and control content. Press the button on the Alexa Voice Remote and say, “Find dramas,” and Alexa will show you results from apps like Netflix, Hulu, SHOWTIME, Amazon Video, and more. Plus, you can pair Fire TV to any of your Echo devices to enjoy hands-free, far-field voice control, powered by Alexa.

“The all-new Fire TV delivers a great entertainment experience with the best picture quality on a Fire TV, 4K Ultra HD, HDR, and an unbeatable selection of content – all at an affordable price,” said Marc Whitten, Vice President, Amazon Fire TV. “With Alexa, the new Fire TV makes it easier to navigate content and discover great movies and TV shows, all by using your voice.”

At just $69.99, the new Fire TV is Amazon’s most affordable 4K enabled device ever. Fire TV is also the best place to enjoy Amazon Video’s expansive collection of movies and TV shows, including the largest selection of 4K/UHD content available to stream today. Enjoy hundreds of titles including Prime Exclusives like The Tick and The Grand Tour, and the lowest priced digital content of any over-the-top service across SD, HD, and UHD formats.

The all-new Amazon Fire TV is available for pre-order starting today from www.amazon.com/firetv and will begin shipping to U.S. customers on October 25.

Brilliant 4K picture quality

Experience true-to-life picture quality from thousands of immersive 4K Ultra HD titles from Amazon Video, Netflix, and more when connected to a 4K Ultra HD or HDR compatible TV.

Do more with your voice

Coming soon, customers will have an even better hands-free content experience on Fire TV. We’re continuing to work with partners like Hulu, SHOWTIME, Sony’s PlayStation Vue, CBS All Access, NBC, Bravo, CNBC, and NBC News to add increased app functionality that lets you use your voice to rewind, fast forward, and play content with commands like “Alexa, change the channel to NBC in Hulu” or “Alexa, play Ray Donovan in SHOWTIME.”

Access even more content

Fire TV connects you to a world of streaming entertainment, with access to tens of thousands of channels, apps, and Alexa skills. You can watch over 500,000 TV episodes and movies from Netflix, Hulu, HBO, SHOWTIME, STARZ, Amazon Video, and more. In addition, enjoy live TV with subscriptions to Hulu, Sling TV, DIRECTV NOW, Sony’s PlayStation Vue, CBS All Access, and Amazon Video.

Easy to set up and use

Fire TV easily connects to your HDTV’s HDMI port. Simply plug it in, turn it on, and get ready to stream in 4K Ultra HD. Connect via Wi-Fi or directly from your router using the optional Amazon Ethernet Adapter and start streaming your favorite content. Fire TV is also working with leading partners to have single sign-on added to TV Everywhere apps like ESPN, NBC, ABC, Disney Channel, AMC, CNNGo, Food Network, E!, Freeform, USA, and more allowing you faster access to the content you love most.

Go beyond streaming

With Alexa, Amazon Fire TV can control smart home enabled lights, thermostats, and other compatible devices. Plus, play music, view camera feeds on your TV, check the weather, and more. Starting today, smart home camera support is available on all Fire TV devices and second-generation Fire TV Stick devices in the U.S. Simply say, “Alexa, show the nursery camera” to view the feed on your TV.

Amazon Fire TV is available for pre-order on Amazon in the U.S. for $69.99 and will start shipping on October 25. For a limited time, customers can get the all-new Fire TV and Echo Dot together for $79.99 or the Fire TV Stick and Echo Dot together for $59.99–a 33 percent savings. Eligible customers who purchase and activate the all-new Fire TV by November 15, 2017 will also receive two months of Hulu (Limited or No Commercials), a one month trial of SHOWTIME, and a $10 credit to rent or buy content from Amazon Video- a value of up to $45.

Amazon also today introduced the all-new Echo with improved sound and a new design for just $99.99; the all-new Echo Plus with a built-in smart home hub for $149.99; and the all-new Echo Spot which features a stylish, compact design with a screen so Alexa can show you things for just $129.99.

Today, Amazon announced Echo Spot, the newest addition to the Echo family. Echo Spot delivers everything you love about Alexa with a smaller design and the added convenience of a circular screen so that Alexa can show you things. The all-new Echo Spot is $129.99 and is available for pre-order at www.amazon.com/echospot. It will begin shipping in December.

Echo Spot combines the popular small design of Echo Dot, the display of Echo Show, and the features you love about Alexa into an all-new, stylish and compact device,” said Tom Taylor, Senior Vice President, Amazon Alexa. “See the weather, watch video news briefings, glance at your alarm clock, check on your kids, and more–we think customers will find lots of places for Echo Spot in their homes.”

Designed for any room, with the added convenience of a screen

Echo Spot fits easily into any room of your home. The size and viewing angle of the screen make Echo Spot ideal for use on a nightstand or desk as a smart alarm clock that can also turn your lights on and off, watch a video flash briefing, show your commute time, get the weather, or show your calendar. Or use Echo Spot in the kitchen to easily set and view timers, call friends and family, see shopping and to do lists, and more.

New microphone array with second generation far-field technology

Echo Spot features second generation far-field technology with four microphones, acoustic beam-forming technology, and enhanced noise cancellation so it can hear you from across the room–even while music is playing. If you have more than one Echo, Alexa responds intelligently from the Echo you’re closest to with ESP (Echo Spatial Perception).

Front-facing camera and Alexa calling help you stay connected–call anyone hands free

Put an Echo Spot in each room so you can drop in on the kitchen to ask when dinner will be ready, or drop in on the family room to see how homework is going. Just like Echo Show, you can also use Echo Spot to start a voice or video call, or send a message–simply say, “Alexa, call dad,” or “Alexa, send a message to Mary.”

Built-in speaker, plus Bluetooth and audio-out to connect to your existing speaker systems

Alexa can talk to you and play music directly on Echo Spot through the built-in 2W speaker. Echo Spot can directly connect to speakers through Bluetooth or using a 3.5mm stereo cable, enabling you to add Alexa to your home entertainment system. Then, use just your voice to control Amazon Music, Prime Music, Pandora, Spotify, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and more. Plus, with the new multi-room music feature, you can play your favorites throughout your home, with synchronized music across all of your Echo devices.

Easily control your smart home

Echo Spot integrates all of the smart home capabilities that customers love about Alexa–turn on the lights, view your live camera feed from the nursery, set up Routines, control the temperature, lock your doors with your voice when you’re heading to bed, and more.

Pricing and Availability

The all-new Echo Spot is available in black and white for $129.99 and will start shipping in the US this December. You can pre-order starting today at www.amazon.com/echospot.

Echo Spot will be available in the UK and Germany early next year.
