Alexa
Well,
My phone got its full Alexa integration today. So far its pretty neat to use. Adjusted the temp on my home thermostat a couple of times to try it out and verify that worked. Also got in the beta test of the skill for the Monero mining pool I’m in, that is awesome too. Also got my code for my free echo dots last week, they arrived today. I’ll get them setup tonight and hopefully not confuse myself with saying the key word (thankfully you can update it on the echo devices, can’t on my phone). I’m planning on putting one upstairs and one in my bedroom, and eventually getting a smart outlet for my wife’s nightstand lamp (and possible other lamps too).
through Sprint since they are my carrier and I also get two free 
with it as well. I haven’t had a HTC phone for quite a while, so I hope it is good as it sounds like it will be.

Amazon Echo Dot
Got the two free Echo Dots that I got for pre-ordering my phone. Both are setup, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. Looking then so far. Kind of worried that the one in the bedroom will end up lighting up in the middle of the night. Hoping not though. Really disliking the skill for my Sensi thermostat though. All I can do is set a temperature I want, raise or lower it n degrees. I cannot turn the AC/heat on/off. Hopefully it gets updated to allow this.
