Amazon announced the new Echo Time smart alarm clock powered by Alexa+ alongside an interactive 3D smart home tool called Alexa Home Map on October 28, 2026.
Echo Time Smart Alarm Clock
Amazon introduced the Echo Time, a smart alarm clock designed for the nightstand featuring a 3.2-inch circular touchscreen and a camera-free design. The device includes sleep sensing technology powered by Omnisense, which uses room temperature sensors, presence detection, and ultrasound to monitor sleep without a wearable.
Echo Time is available today for $199.99 in Graphite, Glacier White, and Coral Pink, with a matching adjustable stand sold separately for $39.99. Amazon also offers an Amazon Kids Echo Time version starting at $209.99. Privacy controls include visual indicators when listening and a dedicated button to turn microphones off completely, with sleep sensing opt-in by default.
Alexa Home Map 3D View
Amazon introduced Alexa Home Map, an interactive 3D map of homes and properties that lets users view and control connected devices like Echo, Ring and Blink cameras, Fire TV, lights, locks, and thermostats. The map features a 360-degree aerial view and real-time animations of people and cars moving outside.
Alexa Home Map will start rolling out in preview later this year across iOS, the Alexa and Ring apps, larger Echo Show devices, the Amazon Ember Artline with Fire TV, and new Alexa Tablets. Certain features require Alexa+, which is included with a Prime membership, and specific Ring features require a Ring Protect Pro or Virtual Security Guard subscription.
