Amazon Echo could this be the ultimate addon


Question

Posted

Not sure people are aware but Amazon as launched a new product called the Echo by its self looks a little gimmicky but if there was a Api that was useable then this could also be the ultimate voice controlled room and multi room audio

Just my sence worth what do u guys think is it even possible

That looks really cool. Thanks for sharing! Kind of reminds me of the movie Her. We know fibaro is working on something like this, I just hope it has the same type of microphone because implementing a single standard microphone will indeed make you shout through the house

And how will they implement the "smart" implementation for speech. As Echo does not just understand a single phrase.

Any idea if you can order it from outside US?

    I use a site like Myus.com and forward it do it all the time... In Australia everything is more $$$ here.....

    I think that looks cool I can but hope its as good....I love Fibaro hardware (just wish had power metering.) so far but I think things like this fibaro shouldn't compete with. Use it and include it.......

    Ordered the Echo yesterday via MyUS and cant wait for it to arrive. Shame there isnt a plug-in for Fibaro or the means for users to develop one. Perhaps in time?

    I have to add that after near 5 months using playing with Amazon Echo it, like Fibaro, is cutting edge NEW technology and that means its not perfect. Amazon Echo has, like Fibaro,  added control over Philips Hue, Insteon, Smart things, Garageio, and much more devices. As far as home automation goes voice control over lights, garage doors, sprinklers  and the like is far more convenient than an App on a tablet or smart switch. So Echo has it over Fibaro there. Its just a shame that Echo and Fibaro isnt linked. I find myself having multiple systems to attain my results.  I guess it will come...
