Cool, working on a similar project, but having a different stack

1. Z-wave switches/outlets/locks - all lamps, receptacles and locks controlled by Vera Edge; 2. DSC alarm system - door/flood sensors, integrated with Vera; 3. Nest cameras - not integrated; 4. Nest thermostat - integrated with Vera and Alexa;

Currently trying to integrate Vera and Alexa to have fully voice- controlled home.

If you are somewhat of a "programmer" you can complete that integration using a RPI and a software package called "Home Assistant".

They have links between Vera and the Echo along with a TON of other things.

Yes, that's what I'm going to do.
