Amazon Echo (aka Alexa)

I got an Amazon Alexa (Echo) Dot for Christmas and quickly discovered that you can create custom Skills for it.

Interesting Skills

Skills to find or create (pipe dreams)

Family Notes

  • USER: Alexa, Note for <person>
  • ALEXA: What is the new Note for <person>?
  • USER: <short note>
  • ALEXA: OK, I'll tell <person> <short note>.
  • USER: Alexa, Read Notes for <person>?
  • USER: Alexa, Clear Notes for <person>.
  • USER: Alexa, Who has Notes?

I don't know how much 'storage' ability Alexa has, it might be interesting if we can create a Family Message Board of sorts.

Accessories

Electrical Components

Hubs

Light Bulbs

Other

  • Nest Learning Thermostat
