I'm an early adopter of tech and in turn have been interested and purchasing various home automation related devices. I currently have Philips Hue bulbs throughout the man-cave and also a few Wemo devices and of course am an Amazon Prime member.
I pre-ordered and bought my Amazon Echo in the first wave of invites/orders. From the get go I was going into my purchase with my early adopter expectations put in place (ie over priced while under delivering but are mandatory for the product sect to grow). The initial features included only weather updates, news updates, limited music streaming from pandora and iheartradio and basic knowledge retrieval (ie what is 2 plus 2, how many ounces in a pound, etc). No contact or calendar integrations or home automation controlling either.
