Harmony works with Echo now. "Alexa turn on the TV" works well.

Nice. For me it seems a little ridiculous to spend $99 on an IR sensor + LED since I don't have any more home automation.

Given I gave the Echo I had away, I'm hoping the next iteration of the Echo or Google Home device has the $2 of components required to implement this functionality so that it just works out of the box.
