I do get it. You're saying Echo has the best IoT integration of all the assistants. That may be true. But it's also possibly irrelevant depending on what combinations of IoT devices someone wants. If everything I want has HomeLink integration, then Echo's broader integration means nothing to me. > This is something Amazon did; "it doesn't say much about Echo itself" is completely mistaken. You're misunderstanding what I mean by that sentence, which I guess could be clearer. What I meant is; it doesn't say anything about Echo's independent functionality apart from any other devices. Does that help clarify? My point is that ability to integrate with other devices is great but it's only one thing that a digital assistant has to do. Echo is missing other things that assistants on phones can do not only because the phone has capabilities Echo does not hardware wise but also because our phones are so integrated into our daily lives. Anyway this discussion has really gone off the rails. My original point was this article is clearly just an Echo ad and it's a bad one at that.
