Just got this email from Amazon regarding the Echo: you can now use Echo to switch on home appliances. "Alexa, start the coffee maker."

This seems...pretty cool.
==========================================
AMAZON ECHO
==========================================
WeMo and Philips Hue products now work with Amazon Echo.
You can now use Echo to switch on the lamp before getting out of bed, turn on the fan or heater while reading in your favorite chair, or dim the lights from the couch to watch a movie--all without lifting a finger...or even raising your voice.
To get started, connect your WeMo and Hue devices to your home Wi-Fi and name them in their respective app. Then say, "Alexa, discover my appliances." After Echo's confirmation, you can control your devices by voice.
Things to try:
* "Alexa, turn on the hallway light"
* "Alexa, turn on the coffee maker"
* "Alexa, dim the living room lights to 20%"
* "Alexa, turn on the electric blanket"
* "Alexa, turn on the outdoor decorations"
