Echo + Wink !! Echo + ST ??? When is ST going to get the native support? Nest is taking ages not hopeful … Don’t see any new integration on ST platform. What’s gong on? Is Samsung killing it?

So maybe I should set up both. “Turn on hallway lights” for lights via the bridge hack and "Tell the house to activate night mode" for modes and other stuff using the ASK method. I guess I was thinking I had to use one or the other. My wife would mainly use lights only so the simpler command wou…

Yeah @Tyler that would definitely increase the WAF :smile:

Ya, they should co-exist, even with the same devices. The cool thing about Hello Home phrases is that it gives you a way to use common verbal phrases to command simple actions instead of “turn on hallway lights”. For example, “tell the house to say Bright Hall”. The actual phrase is what is custo…
