Amazon Echo/Echo Dot/Echo Plus India Launch (Prime Subscription Free)

[cyberwarfare]

I am planning to xiaomi yeelights, and maybe the strip. For my office use, I am planning to get the motion and door sensors - for the door and racks plus temperature sensors for the room and rack.

I have the yeelights. I thought you were going more DIY, what happened?

How are you guys setting up the devices? For some odd reason, I don't see the ALEXA app on India play store.

Its not there on the Indian store, but then, Alexa has not come for the Indian market yet. You can get the apk from elsewhere.

They plan to get Alexa out before shipping the Echos. Mind you, they are already doing alpha testing, and we might become the beta testers [DOUBLEPOST=1507688656][/DOUBLEPOST]Anyone looking to score a deal on the white Hue lights - https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Equivalent-Dimmable-Compatible-Assistant/dp/B073SSK6P8
