Just wanted to share with everyone. Was browsing the HomeAutomation subreddit and stumbled across this post:https://www.reddit.com/r/homeautomation/comments/377onm/extending_amazon_echo_voice_control_to_existing/ In short summary, someone hacked the hue/wemo api and created a fake hue hub. It is a java applet that you can run that can be used to add any device to your ECHO! I set it up tonight and it worked flawlessly! I can control my lights through echo with just a "turn office light on" command. Soooo much better than the to-do list hack that I was using with IFTTT.

@PurdueGuy Thanks!!! Got my Echo today and I now have a way to interface. Got everything working yesterday in anticipation and now I have a Echo that can use my automation. Currently it is a bit clunky since I am using IFTTT and the To-Do list to make the calls, but it works! "Alexa, put unlock front door on my to do list"... 5 seconds later, door unlocks! Pretty sweet!

Could you share the PHP Script that you use? Don't have much experience with actual coding, but this sounds like something I definitely want to test!
