I dont see it as a speaker, but as a tool for home automation. It makes Wink that much better.

This has me intrigued as most/damn near all my lights are connected to my Wink hub. However, I don't have a Nest or Ecobee smart thermostat yet though. Trying to prioritize.
Should I get with an Amazon Echo prior to a smart thermostat? Wondering if I wouldn't harness the true capabilities of the Amazon Echo until I get more "smart items" other than just lights.
Whatcha think?

If that's the case, then the Dot should be a perfect fit. The Verge had a quick video which mentions that the Dot has all the Alexa features, but is very underwhelming being used as a speaker itself. They say it's really intended to be paired to another speaker either by bluetooth or the audio out.
