It will definitely be competition for those that do not mind that they cannot control their appliances, especially at 99$ for Amazon Prime members!!!!
Although, it would be great if Homey also answers questions, tells you what time it is, creates to-do lists, set a timer, etc like Amazon's Echo does.
Emile, will it be possible that Homey is able to do such things (maybe with Google Now?)?
Thanks!

Let's me sure you guys don't make the same mistakes:

If you mean sending text to Homey as if it were recognized speech, that is possible as well!
App.prototype.events = { speech: function( speech ) { speech.triggers.forEach(function(trigger){ if( trigger.id == 'evernote' ) { Homey.module('request').post({ url: 'http://evernote.com/api/new', { contents: speech.transcript // this is your sentence }, function(err, result, body){ if( err ) return false; Homey.say( __("Your reminder has been added to Evernote") ); } }); } }); } }
It now supports Philips Hue and WeMo:

it's there!
Come on! It's time!
yeah multiroom support is nice!
i think this can be a winner!
Without cloud service ? if you can combine it with a in-house solution so you need the other part as well...
If you guys think Athom didn't thought about multi-room solution you dont understand the possibilities with Homey at all.
With only 10 minutes coding I created an iOS app to send voice messages to Homey. A multi-room solution can be added later on real easy because the API already exists A mini device with 1 microphone and speaker you can already create it your self.
The key word here is later. Has nothing to do with tinking or understanding.
So go back them up then and we will see what they will deliver next year. If you are so certain they will deliver exactly what they are selling. Because they say it will be finished around december 2016.
