Raspberry Pi Alexa vs. Amazon Echo

In this video, I compare my homemade Raspberry Alexa to my purchased Amazon Echo. I demonstrate features that the Amazon Echo has that the Raspberry Pi Alexa does not. For example, each time you turn on the Raspberry Pi Alexa, you have to run 3 commands and sign-in to your Amazon Developer account while the same function is plug-n-play for the Amazon Echo. Amazon Echo also has language controls in US English, UK English, and German, while the Raspberry Pi Alexa does not.
I demo IFTTT (https://ifttt.com), with the command, "Alexa, Trigger find my phone."
