Echo Show 21 smart home hub, now $80 off

Struggling to decide between a smart calendar, a kitchen TV, a smart home hub, and a smart display? Amazon’s Echo Show 21 combines all of these into one device, featuring a massive 21-inch screen. You can manage your smart lights, browse recipes, stream TV shows, and much more. Right now, Best Buy and Home Depot are offering it for $319.99 (down from $399.99), matching the lowest price we’ve seen so far.

The Echo Show 21 serves as the ideal centerpiece for any growing smart home. This 1080p smart display functions as a Matter and Thread controller, allowing you to manage compatible devices locally through voice commands or a variety of widgets. Its built-in auto-framing camera enhances video calls, keeping you in focus as you move. Additionally, the device features solid speakers for music and other Alexa-enabled functions.

What sets the Echo Show 21 apart, along with the slightly smaller Echo Show 15 (just $20 cheaper), is its support for Zigbee, Matter, and Thread. This provides seamless control over a wide range of devices. While the included voice remote cannot interact with widgets or Alexa skills, it works perfectly for managing streaming services and other media. A built-in 13-megapixel camera supports video chats, with auto-framing to keep you centered even when you’re moving around the house.

The display is designed for wall mounting, but if you prefer placing it on a counter or bookshelf, Best Buy also has the adjustable stand on sale for $99.99 (regularly $124.99). The stand tilts up to 30 degrees and swivels a full 360 degrees, making it versatile for placement in the center of a room or on a kitchen island.
