I know you can’t browse to a web page on the Echo Show right now, but it would be nice if we could run ActionTiles on the Echo Show for a ST touch interface on this.

That would be freaking awesome! I would actually buy one of it could do that.
Does anyone know??? You can already ago the echo for a recipe… If you ask the show, will it display it on the screen?

Sweet! I just found my "in"with the wife!
You should write a book.

Whyohwhyohwhyoh did Amazon have to put in such a selfish restriction!
So, you can search the web on an echo with no screen, but can’t on an echo with a screen…
I think somebody got something backwards

I’m sure you bright minds will come up with a skill that pulls up a website… like AT’s url for example

Would you want to pull up a dashboard on echo show and use that to control versus asking Alexa to do it for you?
But on other hand you can get a glance of every device’s status… u still will have to scroll down though.
It’s FireOS, so give us a few hrs and we will have it rooted and will soon have access to the system.

Echo Show is a “visual companion” to voice.
If this device is popular, we would consider ways to make visible the specific requested information via a Skill… e.g., “Alexa, show me all my Contact Sensors…”.

It would be nice if it mimicked the notifications i have on my phone. So if my garage door opens, it would show on the echo. I have several doors and temps that i have Smartthings monitor and would love to glance at my echo show to see those notifications.
i guess i wont be able to make it work without a amazon echo 
Dont feel like buying a 2nd voice assistant seeing that i have a google home
2nd? Whoa Bro, you can’t just have 1! You need voice in EVERY room!!!

Especially when you can intercom between rooms with Alexa…Thats my favorite feature. I had anticipated this would come one day, the moment they released Echo 2 years back.

I got a sample product from Amazon to test. 
My explanation! Wonder what to do for a second one. May be they sent me a retail product for testing the first one.
Amazon has a deal 2x Echo Show devices 100$ off.
“Buy 2, Save $100. Place two or more Echo Show devices in your cart and receive $100 off your order with code SHOW2PACK.”
ActionTiles would be really nice on the Show…

Well, it looks like there’s hope!
A browser exists on the Echo Show (which makes sense, as it’s speculated that it’s running FireOS beneath the locked down “kiosk” interface…)…
Not currently a good way to run ActionTiles, but at least the capability is there…

I was envisioning having it call out a specific panel…
“Alexa, show me ActionTiles Main” or “Alexa, show me ActionTiles Basement”, or whatever the panel name is… (?).
I’ve not looked into what it takes to write a skill for Alexa, but I’d think that might be a better way to go?
The trick would be sharing the ActionTiles account/permisions with the Alexa app to set it up, that would seem to be the difficult part…
