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?

I wish my honeywell smart thermostat would hurry up and sync with my home automation hub.

I would go for thermostats first if you have just lights.

For Alexa, i have thermostats, lights, locks, garage door, home entertainment. I can tell Alexa to run a goodnight routine that makes sure everythimg is in its proper state. Sure, i could do that from my phone, but i rather not have to use a phone for home automation
