Just got an Alexa in a Fire Cube
Trying to get my head around what it can do at the moment, but I have 4x Smart Plugs on order and I have already got it 'talking' to the TV, speaking the time, weather etc...
I have put Alexa on my Iphone and managed to spook SWMBO but turning the living room TV on whilst she was alone in the house, me out shopping I have also put Alexa on my Laptop can get it to respond to her name, though not control anything. In Smart Home > Devices, it lists my Fire Stick, Box, Cube and TV, but all are marked 'Currently not accessible from your PC'.

Have you spoken to your Chinese "minder" yet? Be careful what you wish for! (out loud that is!)

Alexa can and does listen to all your words, nothing is secret anymore.
