Amazon Echo and Honeywell Evohome?

Amazon Echo has a Honeywell skill, however this seems to be a different Honeywell cloud solution than used here in the EU?
The My Evohome is on
http://getconnected.honeywell.com/ (Dutch site) and this covers Europe and Middle East. The US site
http://yourhome.honeywell.com/ mentions the Amazon Echo integration.
Anyone has the Echo connected to the EU Honeywell Cloud?

I've just enabled it yesterday - UK based.
Use
Honeywell Total Connect Comfort International skill
You will need to create smart groups for it to be useful - it also allows you to rename custom/economy/away modes.
I do not think there's a way to read back temperatures though...

On the UK site it also mentions Amazon Alexa support. Will try to convert my online evohome to UK...

No success. I can connect the skill to my evohome, but it does not discover any devices...

Just adding for references.
The Amazon UK Skill Store has the EU Honeywell Evohome link. It doesn't currently have Homeseer so I am not switching yet, but it is working.
For selecting the UK Skill Store you need to switch your Amazon Account location to a UK address.
- Login to your regular Amazon account, to to Accounts & Lists,
- select Manage Your Content and Devices in Digital Management,
- select the Settings tab and
- change Country Settings to a UK address.
This will wipe your Echo settings and skills
