We came up with Echo Flex, it can be placed throughout your home. It’s compact, cordless, and plugs right into your wall outlet.

Echo Flex has a small speaker—similar to a cell phone—so it’s not optimized for music, but it is optimized for Alexa’s voice. Echo Flex also includes a USB charging port so you can charge your phone, even if you have limited outlets. But that port can also be used for some really fun, useful accessories.

We gave the early interface API to a developer, and our first two accessories will be a motion sensor, perfect for hallways, and a smart nightlight.

We’ll be sharing the specs for these accessories, and hope other 3P developers will build for Flex as well.

Echo Flex is available for pre-order starting today for $24.99, and the accessories will be $14.99 each.

Echo Flex will be a new way to interact with Alexa, and it will also be a great sensor for a Ring home security system.

Ring’s mission has been, from the beginning, about making homes and neighborhoods safer. In the 18 months since Ring became part of the Amazon family, Ring continues to protect millions of customers with more than 4 billion interactions per month.

And we continue to see that when you add security to neighborhoods, it reduces crime.
