The Touchstone Sideline Elite Alexa Built-In combines the Elite series’ multi-color flame and media-bed display with Alexa voice control integrated into the fireplace itself. It is intended for shoppers who want voice operation without relying on a separate Alexa speaker in the room.
Available in 42- and 50-inch widths, the fireplace can be recessed into a wall, plugged into a standard outlet, or hardwired. It also includes app, remote, and control-panel operation for flexible everyday use.
