Amazon held it’s third annual tech event in Seattle on Sep 25th and revealed a ton of “new devices” from earbuds and glasses to new home security cameras.

You can show off to your less-tech savvy friends about all the “smart” devices you have incorporated to make your home smarter!! You can also save money by turning off smart home devices remotely, or find lost pets faster, thanks to smart pet wearables and extended Wi-Fi connectivity.

While some of these products are available immediately, some are available for pre-order on the site, while some others are yet-to-come. But all this is too exciting not to be discussing and sharing.

Here is a rundown of everything you need to know that Amazon’s launching now or in the near future, to summarize, some of the Best Smart Home Devices for 2019.

Amazon Echo (2nd Gen) @ $69

The second-generation Echo is smaller and more attractive than the original. Plus, you can change its skins to match your decor. Inside, the new Echo does all the same things the original does: control smart home gadgets, connect to other smart home hubs, read you audiobooks, check the weather, and even let you purchase things online just by using your voice. And, as a speaker, it sounds pretty good, too.
