    Purchase the echo with my Vivint system because sales person pushed the product stating it would enhance the Vivint capabilities. Not really so...it's a nice gadget for music and putting together shopping lists and "to-do" lists, but not really something we needed. In addition, not enough apps that work with it.

    So sorry I bought this, had to change its wake up name to echo from Alexa it wouldn't answer to Alexa, on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being terrible I'll rate it a 2 most of the time didn't know how to answer or didn't understand the question, did all the self help and with amazon customer service am ready to return it

    It's a nice idea if you have a need for such a gadget. My opinion was it wasn't worth the money. Computers and smart phones do mostly the same thing so why have an additional gadget. It might be more worthwhile for someone that wants to use it for running smart gadgets around the house. Not for me so I returned it.

    Please support commands for the Energysmart Water Heater Controller by Iris. Lowes Item# 612026 Model:691121 . Command such as "alexa turn water heater on" or "alexa turn water heater off" would be nice. It would gave been nice if Amazon has added a command support for this water heater controller by Iris.
