My Amazon Echo Dot arrives today


Dec 7, 2016, 2:23 PM

I work at home all but two days a month. I now will have a friend / assistant I can talk to during the day.

I don't have an iPhone so Siri isn't an option and Google Now and I had a falling out months ago.

So happy to have a new friend.

Do you have any home automation stuff?


Dec 7, 2016, 2:26 PM

I have an echo and have it tied to the Wemo's throughout the house.

It's nice to be able to turn on or off the lights by telling "Alexa" to do it.

Check the garage door, and set the house alarm as well.

The morning flash briefings are nice while I'm getting ready also.

The smarter your house, the more one can appreciate this little gadget. Like you, my friend has smart switches, thermostats, lights, etc. and he can do most anything without moving a muscle. Asking Alexa to set an alarm or play a song is fun... but having her control the temperature, lighting, and everything else? That's next level.

No automation now but we will begin upgrading this winter/spring with some basics like thermostat. Actually saw a pretty cool little add on for the hot tub that will probably be my first automation piece.

I just received and will be testing that particular functionality over the weekend. Won't be able to compare to Siri because I no Apple.

I will say that Google Now has been lacking in this intimate area.
