I have ST and the Echo and love how great the work. It’s nice being able to walk into my home and simply say “Alexa, turn on the living room lights.”
I’m eyeing the Logitech Home Hub and want to know if this will all integrate so I can tell Alexa to turn on the TV/Blueray, etc. Does anyone know if it works like this?

Definitely possible. Check out this post for instructions-
Updated 12 November 2015 after Amazon added “Triggers” to their IFTTT Channel for Alexa
As valuable as I personally found this project, and as much as I learned in doing it, as of 12 November 2015 it’s now no longer necessary.
Amazon has added verbal triggers to their IFTTT channel. So you can say anything you want to as a trigger to Alexa and use that as the “if” for an IFTTT recipe, and have that trigger anything that has an IFTTT “that” channel. So SmartThings, Philips Hue, Harmony activities, etc. No virtual switches needed, no synch issues.
It really is that easy.
I just picked up a Harmony hub last week for this exact reason, works perfect!

This is perfect. Shame on me for not spending more time looking through other posts.
