The good news is that Amazon opened up the interface and then later
removed the restriction that 3rd-party devices had to have a physical
button ... meaning that it is possible to use RPi (or other things) as
an Echo. They don't get access to everything but I think that "Skills"
can still be used. As an example see

Yep - that was my thought ... but with the RPi as the Echo.
