New Echo Plus (2nd Generation) Review

Premium sound and simple smart home setup only 14,999 Rs

When Amazon was introducing a second generation echo plus device. I was intrigued and thought for sure that Amazon would include more bells and whistles to help us connect our smart home devices. The second generation speaker is a whole lot of bass.

Here we can do one thing with it in the smart home the first generation and the second generation echo plus devices and both devices is in their size. The first generation took the Pringles cans style and its height it's also finished in plastic and metal. This is shorter and squatter you can see the fabric cover that comes in charcoal heather gray or sandstone across the top.

You'll see that there's easily visible in a difference as well in the buttons. The first generation features the mic on/off button and the action while the newer version has the plus/minus that's for volume up/down. Amazon wants to use the wakeboard, Alexa they both light up however this one has the volume ring attached to it and this one does not the echo plus is also a smart hub.

Best thing is that this particular device features z-wave compatibility which means if you have a smart home device a plug that doesn't feature Alexa integration. You can still connect to it via this hub, the problem is that it doesn't feature z-wave compatibility. It just means that some of your devices may not be compatible and it can't really serve as a smart home hub and in the truest sense.

Difference between New Amazon Echo Plus and vs Old Echo Plus

The first generation doesn't have is a temperature sensor so essentially. If you will ask Alexa what the temperature is inside or you can go to the Alexa app and it'll show you right degrees. Amazon did do with the second -gen echo plus speaker makes it bigger fuller richer in term of sound this thing has a three-inch woofer and a point seven-inch tweeter, which means that it is now the best sounding echo device in the Amazon echo fleet.
