Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Mascom International stocks the Amazon Echo Hub at KSh 29,000, brand new and sealed, with an 8-inch touchscreen and Zigbee, Matter and Thread radios built in. The Amazon Echo Hub is a control panel from Amazon made to hang on a wall, and the box includes a wall mount, anchors, screws and a 12.5W power adapter. It runs on a MediaTek MT 8169 A processor, connects over Wi-Fi 5 and weighs 365 grams. You can see the Amazon Echo Hub working at our store in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for homeowners, landlords, estate agents showing serviced apartments and developers fitting out new units, the Amazon Echo Hub handles one job well: running every connected device from a single screen. Once a home has a dozen bulbs, plugs, door sensors and cameras, opening several phone apps becomes tiring. The Amazon Echo Hub puts them on one dashboard by the front door or kitchen. A proximity sensor wakes the screen as you walk up, so you check the gate camera or switch off the security lights in a second. Family members and house staff can use it too, without needing your phone or your passwords.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that treat Echo devices as speakers, Mascom International explains which Zigbee and Matter devices pair with this panel before you buy. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the Hub is the piece that ties a growing collection of devices together in homes from Runda to Nyali. It costs KSh 16,000 less than the Amazon Echo Show 11 because it drops the camera and big speaker. Visit our counter, WhatsApp us a list of your devices, or order with pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Amazon Echo Hub
How much does the Amazon Echo Hub cost in Kenya?
The Amazon Echo Hub costs KSh 29,000 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That figure includes the 12.5W power adapter, a white cord, the wall mount kit, a 12-month warranty through Mascom International and setup guidance from our staff. A tabletop stand and a PoE adapter are sold separately. Delivery is pay-on-arrival across all 47 counties, so you check the box before paying in cash or by M-Pesa.
How is the Amazon Echo Hub different from the Amazon Echo Show 5 3rd Gen?
The Amazon Echo Hub is a wall-mounted control panel for many devices, while the Amazon Echo Show 5 3rd Gen is a bedside clock and calling display. The Hub has a larger 8-inch screen, Zigbee, Matter and Thread radios, and no camera. The Show 5 3rd Gen has a 2MP camera, a clock-first screen and Matter support, but no Zigbee radio. At KSh 14,000 against KSh 29,000, pick the Show 5 3rd Gen for a bedroom and the Hub for running a whole home.
Who is the Amazon Echo Hub right for, and who should pass on it?
The Amazon Echo Hub is right for homes that already own several connected bulbs, sensors, locks or cameras and want one screen to manage them. Pass on it if you have no such devices yet, or if you want video calls. Alexa is not officially available in Kenya; it runs on an Amazon account, but some services, skills, shopping and news features depend on the account region. Mascom International staff help with setup. For calls and music, the Amazon Echo Show 11 at KSh 45,000 is the better fit.
How do I mount the Amazon Echo Hub on a Kenyan stone or block wall?
The Amazon Echo Hub ships with a wall mount, anchors, screws and a mounting template, so you can fix it to most stone, block or brick walls in Kenyan homes. Use the template to mark the holes, then drill for the supplied anchors. The power cord needs to reach a socket, so plan the spot near an outlet or run the cord through trunking. A fundi can mount it in under an hour. If you prefer it on a counter, a tabletop stand is sold separately.
Can the Amazon Echo Hub stay on during a KPLC power cut?
The Amazon Echo Hub has no internal battery, so it switches off during a KPLC power cut unless its power source has backup. It accepts Power over Ethernet through a separately sold PoE adapter, which lets it draw power from a network switch on a UPS. A simpler option is to plug the 12.5W adapter into a small UPS alongside your router. Mascom International stocks UPS units, and our team can suggest a size that covers the Hub and your home Wi-Fi together.
Which devices can I control from the Amazon Echo Hub?
The Amazon Echo Hub controls Alexa-compatible lights, plugs, locks, thermostats, sensors and security cameras, including those using Zigbee, Matter, Thread and Sidewalk. Zigbee devices pair directly, with no separate bridge needed. Matter and Thread cover newer cross-brand products. Camera feeds from Alexa-compatible brands show on the screen, so you can check a gate or front door. Before buying devices, confirm each one lists Alexa or one of these standards, and ask Mascom International on WhatsApp if unsure.
What home internet do I need for the Amazon Echo Hub?
The Amazon Echo Hub needs home Wi-Fi, and it works with Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku and Faiba routers using the Wi-Fi 5 standard. Setup runs through the Alexa app on an Android phone or iPhone, signed in to your Amazon account. Zigbee and Thread devices talk to the Hub directly over their own radios, but voice commands and remote access need internet. For a large house in Karen or Kitengela, place the Hub where the Wi-Fi signal is strong.
Does the Amazon Echo Hub have a camera?
No, the Amazon Echo Hub has no camera, which suits hallways, entrances and shared spaces where a lens would feel intrusive. It uses a passive infrared proximity sensor instead, which detects movement nearby without capturing images. That sensor wakes the screen when you approach and dims it when you leave. An ambient light sensor adjusts brightness to the room. You still get four microphones for voice commands, and you can view other cameras on the screen.
Technical Specifications

- Customisable dashboard — arrange devices by room, so the gate light and kitchen plug sit one tap away.
- Passive infrared proximity sensor — detects people nearby and wakes the screen without using a camera.
- Ambient light sensor — adjusts brightness to the room, so the panel is not glaring at night.

Package Contents
The Amazon Echo Hub box contains the panel, a 12.5W power adapter, a white cord of about 1.8 metres, a wall mount, anchors, screws and a mounting template. That is a full wall installation kit, so a fundi needs only a drill to fix it in place. The tabletop stand and PoE adapter are separate purchases. Kenyan homes use three-pin sockets, so confirm the plug type on WhatsApp before ordering.
Warranty
The Amazon Echo Hub ships with a 12-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Any claim is handled at our service desk in Nairobi CBD; bring the panel and receipt to the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street.
