Designed to be wall-mounted (although a stand mount is available, sold separately), in the box you’ll find all you need to achieve that end, including the Hub itself, a USB-C cable for power, a paper mounting template and two, yes two, screws. So, yep, some DIY skills are required, but, once you have the Echo Hub bang where it belongs and piped up to fresh power, set-up is simplicity itself – connect to your home Wi-Fi network (or ethernet via a compatible power-over-ethernet (PoE) adapter), log into your Amazon account and register it, confirm your details, choose your device name and wake word, then ask it – with the power of your lips – to discover devices. Next, you just sit back and wait briefly as the Hub scans your house for all compatible devices. Alexa will let you know once that is complete, and then, as if by digital magic, all your smart plugs, cameras (with multiple view), lights, assistants, speakers, locks, etc. will be instantly accessible altogether via widgets on the Hub’s dashboard.
