Amazon Echo update brings more features and adds Alexa Skills
The Amazon Echo keeps getting better and better. Last update they added more sports scores while this update brings more support for Wink hub-connected products. Also, Alexa is getting third-party app support called Skills.
Wink hub-connected smart lights from Leviton and Lightify are now supported. Amazon already added support for Wink hub-connected products back in July, but more products added are always welcome.
The real new and exciting part of this update are some new Alexa skills. More will be added with future updates, but the ones you can use right now are SubHub, Math Puzzles, and Crystal Ball. To access them you have to turn Skills on in the Echo app. Once that is done you can ask it things like “Alexa, ask StubHub what is happening in Toronto this weekend” and it will respond back events that are going on.
