Amazon’s Alexa Home Map is getting a smarter 3D redesign

Amazon’s smart home map interface that shows you where all your connected devices are has been overhauled with new graphics, features, and dynamic effects. The new Alexa Home Map is now an interactive 3D view of not just everything that’s inside your property, but outside of it too — using compatible Ring cameras to provide a 360-degree view that animates cars and people moving nearby.

Even just visually speaking, it’s a considerable upgrade from the 2D map that was introduced to the Alexa app in 2023. This new version looks similar to Samsung’s SmartThings Map View, and makes it easier to see exactly where all of your Echo devices, Ring and Blink cameras, Fire TV, lights, locks, thermostats, and other connected devices are located around your home.
