eero Pro 6 Zigbee hub devices

I am so confused by the Zigbee hub in the eero Pro 6....

Here is what I'm trying to understand and find:

1. Devices that utilize the eero Zigbee hub for connectivity and communication.

(I find Products out there, but you have to purchase their proprietary Zigbee hub to get their devices to work)

2. Alexa devices utilize wifi, but the new Echo (4th gen) has a built in Zigbee hub.  Will that conflict or communicate together with the eero Pro 6 Zigbee hub?

    I swear we don't seem to be able to get technical information on this product.  The answers are so over generalized to be things like:  The Mesh devices talk to each other.  They have built in Zigbee hub.

    But when you ask for anything deeper, it is like silence invades the room.  Either they are not technical folks who support this device, or they don't care to answer any of us.

      Hello BadWolfe ,

      Most of the answers to your questions are answered in the article below. eero 6 and eero Pro 6 support the same Zigbee accessories as Amazon Echo, Echo Plus, Echo Show, and Echo Studio with built-in Zigbee hub. If that Zigbee device has a built in hub it will also work correctly when connected to the eero network. Let me know if you have anymore detailed questions and I'll do my best to make sure you get those questions answered.

      James Thank you for the response. Yes, the article does answer some of the questions, but still leaves the "list" of products a mystery.  When you click on the referenced article, where it says, "Check here to see many supported devices", the only thing that Link says is: "Echo and eero devices with built-in smart home hubs seamlessly connect to ZigBee smart devices such as light bulbs, door locks, switches, plugs, and sensors without the need for a separate hub or app.", BUT NO LIST PRODUCTS....

      pilot Also trying to work this out. Ive given up setting up my existing devices on Eero and plan to stick with Hue hub, however i want to disable Zigbee on my Eero devices as I think they are now interfering due to me getting connectivity issues where previously devices worked fine.
