Receiving my Echo
« on: September 19, 2016, 07:19:58 am »
Just ordered my Echo for the UK released on 28th Sept.

Can someone point me to some good sites / hints / tips for using.

I have Philips Hue Lights
Harmony one and harmony hub
Also a Pioneer AV receiver that has bluetooth and a network port.
I have a PC that I run Kodi etc connected to the TV via HDMI

Anything cool I can do with all this? 

Thanks

Kodi is not an app available via Amazon; it has to be "sideloaded" in the FireTV.  Lots of videos on YT showing how; some work and some don't.  Took some tinkering, but I do have Kodi running on two sticks.
