Our verdict
Amazon's Dolby Atmos Echo in its current form, £219.99 at Amazon UK. Good value for room-filling sound, but it is an Alexa speaker first: with no official Home Assistant media player. Choose it if you live in Alexa and want Atmos music without paying Sonos prices.
What can Home Assistant control on the Amazon Echo Studio (2025)?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Media player | Media player | Play/pause, skip and volume with track info, via the HACS Alexa Media Player integration. |
No official Home Assistant integration for Echo playback. The community Alexa Media Player custom integration (installed through HACS) controls Echo devices as media players using Amazon's unofficial Alexa API, and its README warns Amazon may cut off access at any time. Expect occasional re-authentication; treat Echo hardware as something you control from Alexa, with HA as the optional extra.

- Partly. The Amazon Echo Studio (2025) connects to Home Assistant through a community integration installed through HACS (alexa_media_player), which relies on the Amazon cloud.

- The Amazon Echo Studio (2025) uses Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. To pair it with Home Assistant you need no hub — it joins your Wi-Fi network directly; or a Bluetooth adapter on your Home Assistant host or an ESPHome Bluetooth proxy. Amazon's own hub is not required when you integrate through a community integration installed through HACS (alexa_media_player).
