This is a very cool video which shows how you can use the Amazon Echo to control your home. Turning on and off lights and controlling temperature. This does require home automation software and some DIY updates to Alexa, but it’s a pretty cool thing to be able to do and shows the potential that the Echo could have in the future with more integration:
I’ve recently set my Echo (UK) up to control Kodi by following the instructions here: https://github.com/m0ngr31/kodi-alexa
It works really well if you are prepared to put a little effort in 🙂
