Amazon has just updated its Echo voice assistant with support for a handful of Wink-controlled smart home products, including the Belkin WeMo and Phillips Hue — so now users can, for example, say “shut off the lights” and they will instantly turn off.

Configuring the Wink hub with your Amazon Echo is extremely easy. All you have to do is make sure all of your smart home devices are powered on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network, then open up the official Echo app on your smartphone and hit the ‘Pair’ button.

We’re pretty impressed by the inclusion of this functionality as it means we are one step closer to a home that can be controlled by our voice.
