Looks like from the Cortana Skills website she as picked up new Invoke connected home skills for IFTTT, LIFX, Geeni and TP-Link Kasa.

I have to scroll through dozens and dozens of utterly useless skills to find one or two that interest me. What ***** insurance CMO though it'd be a good idea to advertise as a skill on a smart speaker

interesting, that's a much bigger Connected Home list than what I see as of today (I'm in the U.S.). There is some disconnect somewhere.

I'm most anxious for the Honeywell skill for my thermostats.

Looks like ecobee, Honeywell Lyric and Honeywell Total Connect Comfort have also been added.

ecobee now references the Cortana skill on their website:

I was pleasantly surprised to find that LIFX actually works now with Cortana. Initially I used the app, though it only works over wifi. Then I had to turn to the app Cortrigga to invoke IFTTT commands. But now I can use phone or tablet. It wouldn't work reliably until I uninstalled the LIFX app though.
