[Electronics-Talk] fire sticks?

Sun Nov 25 01:28:01 UTC 2018

What I'm looking for is an accessible TV that has built in speech, but 
that also could be controled with my Echos through home automation. I 
don't have a HUE bridge or hub or the like. I'd want the TV itself to 
have all that hardware already preferably built in. Is there such a 
beast? I still definitely may keep in mind the TV you speak of however. 
It does sound intriguing.

Chris.
