sorry, my mistake. i tried it in the car yesterday on the way home and it does work for home automation using wemo. so you don't have to be connected to the home network to control your home lighting, etc.

however, i am rethinking its use in the car. first, the road noise really makes it hard for "Echo" to be heard. i think this is because it designed to listen from many directions and is getting a lot of environmental noise...even with all the windows up. i drive a sub-compact car. maybe a larger, more luxury oriented car could suppress road noise more. second. the audio line out produces a very noticeable hum/buzz through the car speakers. i'm not sure if there is a filter than can resolve this problem.
