Very tempting. I noticed however that there is no time frame for Wink and GE Link integration. I need to read the page again since it was confusing if the device includes voice commands or if that is through Kinect on an Xbox.
Hello! We noticed you guys chatting about us so I thought I'd make an account and reply here directly! Wink and GE are top priorities. It will be out very soon. I'm not exaggerating, here is my desk as I type this message:
CastleOS (and the CastleHUB powered by CastleOS) supports voice commands through the Kinect plugged into the CastleHUB or the computer running CastleOS via USB. This summer, we're launching an Xbox app - so it will work both with the Xbox and with CastleOS/CastleHUB. In addition, Android and Android Wear voice control will be out this spring/early summer as well. There's always the non-voice app that works on all mobile devices too.
Our voice command is very simple, you just speak out loud! No attention or "start listening" phrase is needed. Just say "computer lights on" or "house dim the lights to 50%" or any number of other commands. You can change the voice to anything you'd like, and it accepts all English accents.
The Discovery Channel did a segment on our smart home voice control in action:

Finally, we're working with Amazon towards integrating the Echo as well. I'm not sure when it will be, but it's in the works!
Thanks!
