hahaha that's awesome!
yeah I plan on using it for a whole bunch of stuff. I was trying to hack up my own on a raspberry pi but my mic wouldn't work ( PS3 Eye, recognized by kernel and alsa, but alsa-mixer says no mic)
Kirth-
You can "train" it by reading a series of phrases that it gives you but for the most part it seems to work fine.
For the heating, you can control separate zones within the Hive but as I only have one and wanted it to still be called "Home" within the Hive, I just created a group within Alexa called "Heating" and that becomes the trigger word.
Let me know if you find anything interesting to set up.
I might try Uber next.

I tried to get it set up to tell me the time of the next bus but my accent scuppered that. "echo, set northbound stop to 43809" - "sorry, I didn't understand walrus, mangrove, banana, 0, foxtrot"
