I am lazy ( so i hooked up my Amazon Echo to my z-wave devices)

Amazon announced that they are now supporting the Belkin Wemo and the Phillips Hue on the Amazon Echo.  This is great unless you already invested in a bunch of z-wave devices and gateway.  If you have a Vera Z-wave home automation gatway take a look at my Amazon-Echo-HA-Bridge on github.  It emulates a Phillips Hue to allow the Amazon Echo to turn on/off my lights/fan/stuff!


Alexa: main screen turn on.
