I'm assuming it will be going on sale on Prime Day and we've been using the firestick. We also have a Harmony Hub.

Would the cube work well with the hub or would it essentially replace it?

Does the cube have IR blasters?

The reviews don't seem to be very good on Amazon, so I figured I would see what the board thinks about it.

Here’s my review:

It’s an extremely limited voice activated remote.

I like it when it functions, but sometimes I repeat myself 2 and 3 times. It can get aggravating.

if you already have a Harmony Hub it seems like it’d be redundant. People who have it on here have mentioned that it pauses TV when you say Alexa, probably to make sure it can understand you so close to TV speakers, and I would find that annoying. It seems like an echo dot plus what you already have would accomplish the same thing better.

I have both a Fire Cube and a Harmony Hub. The Cube is growing on me each day. That said, I think Amazon released it before it was ready for the market and am anticipating additional capabilities as they absorb various owners comments and concerns and update the software. Amazon Tech service is the best in the market, absolutely the very best. You can't throw out all your remotes as there are some things the remote just does better.
