My new amazon echo arrived today. While that is not a really big deal, that fact that I am trying to use it for RV automation and convenience is probably the novel idea. I have integrated the Amazon Alexia with my Belkin Wemo wifi switches and it works just fine. I was expecting lots of technical issues but everything worked just find from the very first try...

Now...there are a lot of technical issues if you are trying to run an Amazon Echo from outside the United States. First of all, the unit is NOT supported from outside the USA. The app you need to run the Echo is not available outside the USA, so you will have to download it while you are in the United States or find an alternative downloading side (at your own risk). All current measurements are not in metric, bu that can now be changed. You will need to select a "home" (default is Seattle).  I selected Blaine, Washington as I am only 8 miles from the American border here in British Columbia. If you are in Windsor, Ontario I would suggest that you add a Detroit address (so that weather and time is the same). You get the idea. People in the United Kingdom can add Honolulu, Hawaii as a time zone and zip code, so the time will be correct (but date will be off 50% off the time but at least it works).
