How To Automate Your House with the Amazon Echo Dot

What's good! Sorry this posted a bit late. In this video, I talk about how to setup your Amazon Echo Dot with the Home Automation API and Home Assistant. It's a bit complicated, but it's sweet once you get it working. If you have any questions or thoughts, hit me up in the comments, on twitter, on my website, facebook, in the Home Assistant community, whatever you like!

Cheers,
Ben

P.S. You need to make sure you can access your Home Assistant configuration from an external network - you'll need to open a port on your router. :)
