Re: Amazon echo what does it do, and what do you need?
To be honest I think this really just emphasises the problem with all "cloud-connected" things: they're dependent on a server to work. That can be nice, as long as it's just for convenience, but what happens when you need interaction with local resources? Sonos has the right idea, I think; one of the things it can do is allow you to specify the credentials for your network server. So, you own the NAS, and the disks, and the data, and yet you have integration with your speaker system that's otherwise restricted to cloud services.
It's difficult, when you're trying to appeal to the masses, I suppose. Lock-in notwithstanding, of course.
