When the Echo came out, I created a proxy to add functionality (http://alexaho.me). One of those functionalities was a Hue integration, which Amazon integrated natively this week.

All of my code was open sourced. I never received any credit or compensation from Amazon for my idea or code, if they happened to look at it and frankly, I wouldn't try to fight them. Who would try to fight a company with such a large legal team?

Even a thank you for my idea would've been nice...




They integrated your code or the idea?


Honestly, I have no way of knowing.
