Plex's new Amazon Echo support lets you control your home theater with your voice

Plex is getting into the home automation game. The popular media management software just announced it now has an Alexa skill, as well as smart home features that turns off the lights or post a message in Slack based on an action you take with Plex. Amazon's Echo is versatile and powerful; it's a terrific value all around. The new Alexa skill is available now in the US and UK Alexa stores. Once you've activated the Plex skill, you can ask your Alexa to play content from your local media library on demand, such as a movie or a television episode from a specific season.
