So, just curious who has done any smart home additions.
Some people are full-on tech warriors, with the whole 9 yards, like lights, tv, thermostat, doorbell, locks, appliances etc while others might just have grabbed an alexa or google assistant, hub, speaker set or maybe a light bulb or 2.
Or just yell at the phone
Others still, will be like, uh, noooo, the government (or reptiles) hear enough, tyvm
Here, just the google mini and all the lights though just grabbed a portable smart speaker for the hot tub for tunes on demand.
For me, it's convenience of 2 things; dogs are always in and out and have learned to open the sliding glass and come and go but I like to yell to turn on/off the deck light, along with the overhead light from day to night, and for the purpose of listening to what I feel like 'at the moment'.
It's handy when I can't find the damn phone either.
Others?
