Amazon has just announced an upcoming capability that will effectively have your Echo act as a proxy server for smart home skills to control devices in your local network. Info is scarce but I've applied to beta test it (no idea if I will be selected). If it works the way I think it will work then it would mean zero setup for controlling LMS by Alexa. Just install the skill, have it talk to your Echo(s) and have the Echo(s) perform the actual jsonrpc.js calls on your local network. My guess is 3-12 months before this is live.
