Polk Command Bar - Alternative Wake Word?

I don't own a Command Bar yet, but in the product literature I've read it said that Alexa's "alternative wake words" weren't implemented yet, but would be in the future.

I've seen on the forum that multi-room audio was added with updated firmware.

Is it now possible to set the Alexa wake word to be "Echo" or "Computer" instead of "Alexa"?

    It responds to "Computer" only if you do an excellent Captain Picard impersonation.. ;):p

    ;) Nice one... Right now, Amazon Echo devices have three standard options for wake words: “Alexa” is the default, but you can go into settings and change it to use “Echo” or “computer” as your wake words.

    I'm wondering if that option is available for the Command Bar yet? We have an Alexa in the house and have set our wake word to be "Echo" on our other devices. If we can do that with the Command Bar, we'll buy it.
