Just got an Amazon echo

[jcparks]

I was wondering if you guys have read anything about any of the consumer electronics brands (LG, Samsung, Denon/marantz, etc) adopting Alexa controls. I am already shopping for home automation systems and I would love to tell my echo "Alexia, I want to watch a movie" and have everything set, lights dimmed and ready to go.

I have a couple of Echos but I haven't used them for any home automation yet. Supposedly Alexa can control several brands of home automation systems directly. This article looks like a good place to start.

I've been doing lots of research into the home automation... However I was more specifically interested in the devices. I've looked into it and I have not found anything specific about A/V equipment other then possible using alexia to work with Harmony remotes.
