I just ordered an Echo, and Amazon says it should be delivered on Monday, I also ordered a WINK hub and two GE Link light bulbs from Home Depot. They say they'll be here today.
I mostly bought the Echo for the shopping and todo (honeydo) lists, so Susie can just tell Alexa what she wants me to buy/do as she thinks of them. Her memory isn't so good anymore and she forgets sometimes, and since she's wheelchair bound it'll be a lot easier for her.
A year or so ago I played around with HomeSeer home automation (way too complicated and expensive) and have a few GE Zwave switches installed. Got my fingers crossed about if Alexa can access them through the WINK hub.
If this works out I can see a use case for a couple more Echos. Now if I could just change the wake word to "Sarah".
