Hi all,
I am trying to figure out best way for me to control UPB lighting via Amazon Echo.
I see a few different options but all look either costly or complex.
1st option would be the Alexa UPB bridge for $600. Seems WAY OVERPRICED and limited - http://alexaupbbridge.com/
2nd option would be some sort of software controller like CQC or HomeSeer. I guess you could buy Homeseer hardware controller as well.....
I like CQC given the involvement of the company here on these forums.
My current control is via UPB scene controllers, ELK M1 for automation of the lighting and eKeypad app on iPhone for remote control as needed.
My initial desire is to provide control for a couple of lamps that are in pain in the ass locations to get to but it would be nice to access all of my lighting and devices as I have about 25 devices already connected.
Thanks for any advice coming my way!!!!
