🏠 Mount Genie Simple Built-in Show 5 Wall Mount: The Ultimate Smart Home Command Center with PoE Option - Gen 1 and Gen 2 Compatible, Designed in the USA Review

Installation is a little intimidating as it requires a hole in the wall. Catching and routing the included extension cord is also another challenge, so plan your setup carefully. First, make sure the location where you want to open the show is easily accessible to plug in an outlet. Second, make the cut, which came in handy for me, my multi-tool made the cut accurately. Third, I made a hole at the bottom of the wall where you need to fish out the extension cord and add a wall plate for the…

It's a bit more expensive than I think it should be. The instructions are pretty basic, but do yourself a favor and make sure you have a drywall saw to make it easier for you. The mount itself creates a great look and feel to take your smart home to a whole new dimension compared to an afterthought sitting on a desk. It hugs the wall snugly, the speaker and controls are uncovered, and the Echo fits snugly so you don't have to worry about the device falling out. I am thinking of doing this in…

This is a great solution for those who need little wall space to control devices in your home. I use it in my attic which is a playroom.

The speaker does not depend on the mount, so the sound can be heard and the microphone can hear you well. The only problem I had was not the fault of the attachment. Something was blocking the way for the wire in the wall which…

Good product. A bit overpriced for what it is. A simple piece of plastic and 4 metal connectors. The installation went pretty quickly. Comes with a stencil for painting on the wall before cutting. On this it is better to cut this overcut, since the following metal connectors are not very wide. I think a spring loaded clip attached to a device with a larger contact area would be a better option and would justify the $20 price tag. (If you're wondering what tabs I'm talking about, check out the…

First of all I would like to say that I am very satisfied with this mount. They did a great job on the design and provided a great template for cutting the hole, the plastic is nice and doesn't feel cheap at all, and the extra power cord was a nice touch (although I don't use it). At first I was a little disappointed that the bezel on the frame was so wide, but after cutting it out completely I'm grateful for that. You're never going to get super straight or even cut drywall, and that fringe…
