Looks like you can jailbreak these to use as a display for Home Assistant. I am curious...

OP made the model pretty distinct. The 3rd gen is $70 on sale right now, and for $40 difference you get only a 20% faster processor, the Amazon AI chip for better voice recognition, plus an improved mic array. Screen is the same 5.5-inch 960 x 480 LCD on this and the 3rd gen, camera still sucks on both, design is pretty similar.

I have 3 gen 2's and they glitch more and more lately. They screen freezes, Alexa doesn't respond sometimes and the WiFi connection sometimes drops.

I'd skip the gen 2 if possible. It's not future proof. They last long but a gen 3 would probably last you longer.

I got one to use for person detection triggers and it doesn't work yet randomly turns on at 3am so that's fun. It's slow before and after the UX update. Camera quality is horrible. I put these on my guest network and they work unlike Google home products and that's the only pro

Were you thinking they were going to go up in value somehow? When i bought mine i expected it to be a speaker with a screen for some visual weather updates, anything else that Alexa provided was just a slight bonus of convenience.

Ha, I paid less when I bought mine in 2022. Still works fine today. But this isn't a deal for me. $20 maybe.

Upgrading to Alexa+ assistant severely handicaps the photo frame feature. (puts previously standard features like shuffle photos behind a paywall). Do not upgrade if you plan on displaying photos on this device.

It is lineage OS. I then installed view assist companion app and can customize the dashboard to my liking. I have can display the status of the alarm, doors, locks and night mode on the beside clock and can also have a dynamic morning and night button to activate/deactivate night mode.

thanks for the info, I have a few show 5 1st and 2nd gen show 5's and ... also, show 8 (2nd gens)... this thread got me interested in seeing that I can do with my echo show devices. Currently they are unplugged and in boxes, the forced ADS got me so upset, for a few years, and finally I had enought of the abuse. ... I was hoping for solution like this for a few years, glad it is here now.

I like hobbies like this, so I'l go slow and learn the prcess and go for it. I can remove the show5 and show 8's out of boxes in closet, ... and hopefully use these devices again. I did love them many years ago, so ... I can tinker ... and have a little fun.
