Product Details

The Echo Dot (5th Gen) delivers improved audio quality with a 1.73-inch front-firing speaker. Built-in motion and temperature sensors enable room-aware automations. Acts as a Matter controller for WiFi Matter devices, but does NOT include Thread border router or Zigbee hub - you'll need Echo (4th Gen) for those features.
