The Echo Buttons will be able to connect to Echos with a new “Gadget API,” and owners will be able to use them to play games in conjunction with an Alexa device. At its press event today, Amazon showed off the buttons playing games like trivia, where users push the button to answer just like on traditional televised game shows.
