Examples of some of the more popular home automation solutions include Amazon’s line of devices, Echo. The latest in this line of products, Echo Show, is being marketed as an alternative to the use of smartphones, computers, and tablets at home. The Echo range of products comes with Alexa, the voice assistant from Amazon, and these devices can help a user control multiple lights and other devices in the home, book a cab to go someplace, and even order goods off Amazon.com.
