It brings an 11 inch touchscreen, a camera for calls and check-ins, Alexa built in, and Zigbee, Thread and Matter radios that let it host accessories on its own. The Shelly Wall Display is the stronger control panel for a Home Assistant home: native Home Assistant support, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings, a built-in relay, a thermostat mode, temperature and humidity sensors and a three year warranty. The two also differ in shape, since the Amazon Echo Show 11 sits on a counter while the Shelly Wall Display replaces a switch on the wall and needs a neutral wire. Pick the Amazon Echo Show 11 for a big Alexa screen and hub, and the Shelly Wall Display if your home runs on Home Assistant and you want the panel wired in.

What the differences mean

Form and placement

The Amazon Echo Show 11 is a countertop display with an 11 inch screen and a camera. The Shelly Wall Display is a 4 inch in-wall panel that replaces a switch or a socket and needs a neutral wire, so one sits on a shelf and the other changes your wall.

Ecosystem and hub

The Amazon Echo Show 11 is an Alexa device that also acts as a Zigbee coordinator, a Thread border router and a Matter bridge. The Shelly Wall Display works with Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant, natively with Home Assistant, but has no Zigbee, Thread or Matter radio.

Camera and voice

Only the Amazon Echo Show 11 has a camera and a voice assistant, so it handles video calls and room check-ins. The Shelly Wall Display has no camera and no microphone, which makes it the quieter choice for a hallway or a bedroom wall.

Sensors and thermostat

The Shelly Wall Display carries temperature and humidity sensors and runs a thermostat mode with a built-in 5A relay. The Amazon Echo Show 11 senses motion, temperature and ambient light but is not a thermostat and has no relay.

Warranty and price

The Shelly Wall Display carries a three year warranty and sells for much less than the Amazon Echo Show 11. The display costs more, and its warranty is a single year, so the panel is the cheaper way into a wall control surface.

What owners say

Owners of both devices praise the same idea, a control surface that earns its place in the house, but they use it very differently. Amazon Echo Show 11 owners focus on the screen, the sound and the hub inside: recipes and video on the bigger panel, far-field microphones that catch a quiet request, and Zigbee, Thread and Matter devices recognized without a separate gateway, with their main warnings being a touchscreen that sometimes freezes and the loss of the sliding camera shutter. Shelly Wall Display owners are Home Assistant people, and they single out putting a custom dashboard on the wall, instant automations, the premium build and a thermostat mode that cut their heating use, while their complaints are network drops, the Home Assistant address sometimes lost after a power cut and a built-in thermometer that reads high.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
