The Amazon Echo Show 8 (2025) wins this one on screen size, connectivity, its built-in Zigbee, Thread and Matter hub and a camera the Shelly Wall Display does not have, and it starts from a real edge: say a command out loud to the Shelly and nothing happens, since the panel has no microphone or voice assistant at all. The Shelly Wall Display pushes back on cost and philosophy instead: it typically costs less, carries a longer warranty, earns a higher owner rating, and, unlike the Alexa-only Show 8 (2025), integrates natively with Home Assistant and Samsung SmartThings, plus a built-in relay that can switch a load directly for thermostat duty. Sensor coverage lands close to even: the Shelly adds humidity where the Show 8 (2025) adds motion detection, and both read ambient light and temperature. Alexa households that want one voice-driven screen for calls, recipes and hub duties should buy the Amazon Echo Show 8 (2025); Home Assistant households that want a wired, relay-equipped panel with no cloud voice assistant involved should install the Shelly Wall Display instead.
