This just in from my coworker and great friend Dave:

Dave has set up automated outlets and switches in his house so he can have Alexa turn on and off lights for him. "Alexa, turn on outside lights" and the backyard lights up for him. It's a real time saver.

Here's the good bit. His roommate set up a Christmas tree and decorations, quite against his wishes (he's not really in to Christmas decorating). So, he adjusted the parameters for the outlet the tree is plugged in to, so now you have to yell "ALEXA, TURN ON THE ****ING TREE!" for the tree lights to come on.

I thought it was a great response.
