Echo dot is supposed to have "all capabilities" like the "skills" for controlling your smart lights etc.
For the moment since I dont have an Android phone I just talk to the device a few basic stuff like reminders, jokes, puzzles. play some music. Plus it is located in Seattle according to the web UI
I've got a couple of philips hue bulbs with a hue "hub" but yet to configure it so that it's voice controlled.

Hi, I got an invite for the purchase. I am planning to buy Echo Dot.
Can anyone please advise what is the exact procedure to to control lights/gadgets using Echo Dot? Is there any extra devise that I need to buy for the same? If so, please advise the cheapest option available. Amazon customer care is clueless on it!!!!
They are clubbing the scented candles as optional bundle instead of smart lights!!!!

If you are buying just smart lights then one would or wouldn't need a hub depending upon the brand.
Someone has posted a detailed setup in the forums. I will be looking at what he has done. Personally, I'll be following his method where he runs a server which runs an automation software Domocitz. Domocitz allows you to interface between various devices including Arduino and Echo. That way one can control all normal lights making your own hub out of Arduino.
If that is too much then definitely get Phillips or if you don't want a hub then you can look at LifX bulbs which connect directly to Wi-fi and don't need a hub.

As stated by rdst_1, you may or may not require a hub, based on what type of LED buld/ device it is.
I use a raspi2 running Home Assistant as the hub, so that it can connect everything, and then i uses the echo to operate those

Thanks you all for valuable advise..
Can you please share the link of the lighting product that are easy to use and cheaper and work with Echo Dot? Can I use normal build holder/ tube light holder or need to buy entire new fixtures?
How do I get raspi2 running Home Assistant hub that can be controlled with Echo Dot?
Is it Echo Dot worth the money?

That is what you get when you buy cheap, shitty chinese products, or stuff which is flawed, and has a hardcoded backdoors.
I am planning to xiaomi yeelights, and maybe the strip. For my office use, I am planning to get the motion and door sensors - for the door and racks plus temperature sensors for the room and rack.
