Briefings

Amazon updated its Alexa Home Map to an interactive 3D view using compatible Ring cameras, animating moving people and cars outside the property. This redesign replaces the 2D interface from 2023 and resembles Samsung's SmartThings Map View, offering a significant visual upgrade for users with Ring devices.

Key points

• The Alexa Home Map now utilizes compatible Ring cameras to display a 360-degree animated view of people and cars moving outside the home.
• The interface transitioned from a 2D map introduced in 2023 to a 3D interactive view featuring dynamic animations of outdoor activity.

Context

Amazon's smart home map interface 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.

Limitations

Coverage is limited to users with compatible Ring cameras; the specific number of supported devices is not specified, and the article does not provide a date for the initial 2023 2D map release.
