Discover Excellence

Getting started is deliberately simple: plug in the Echo Hub, connect it to your Wi-Fi, and sign in. The hub is designed to recognize compatible products and bring them under one roof, so lights, plugs, and future additions can be discovered and named clearly—"Living Room Lamp," "Hallway Bulb," or "Coffee Maker." This naming step sounds minor, but it makes voice control intuitive. Saying "Alexa, turn on the hallway" feels natural because the room and device mapping matches how you already think about your space. The included bulbs support dimming and scheduling, two features that immediately change the feel of a room. Warm the lights in the evening, brighten them for reading, or set them to turn on before sunrise so mornings feel less abrupt. If you prefer automations to manual control, routines can run at specific times or on triggers—like turning on the entryway light at sunset and shutting it off at bedtime.

At its core, the Assure deadbolt removes the dependency on traditional keys. You create secure codes for yourself and anyone who needs access, then manage or revoke those codes in seconds. The illuminated keypad keeps inputs visible at night or in dim hallways, and the screen is engineered to resist fingerprints and wear patterns that could reveal frequently used digits. As a mechanical device, the lock is built around a sturdy deadbolt mechanism that seats cleanly into most standard door frames, giving you a familiar physical barrier backed by reliable electronics. Installation is straightforward for most DIYers. With a Phillips screwdriver and a measured approach, you can remove your old deadbolt and mount the Assure in roughly the same footprint, avoiding awkward additional drilling. The lock's chassis aligns with common US door thicknesses, and clear step-by-step instructions help you set the latch, attach the exterior keypad, connect the interior assembly, and test smooth operation before final tightening. A careful install—checking that the bolt extends and retracts without friction—pays off with years of dependable use. Once installed, auto-lock brings everyday peace of mind. You can set a delay—say, 30 seconds or two minutes—so the door secures itself if someone forgets to tap the keypad on the way out. For busy households, that single feature reduces mental overhead: no more wondering from the car whether you locked up. If you prefer a manual routine, you can disable auto-lock and rely on a quick touch sequence to secure the door as you leave.
