What value does it provide?



Information I'm looking for, quickly. Turns on/off the TV, lights, AVR, etc whenever I want. Adjusts the volume on TV and AVR. Plays music on one or more of the speakers.

ETA: We also use the shopping list feature a lot

I guess I am old. She doesn't hear me but will answer my wife and kids. She gets unplugged regularly.

Key is to not slur your words together. The GF will do that sometimes and it leads to her yelling at it. I will then ask the exact same thing and it works fine.

but I also hate all the extra chattiness of it. I don't need you to tell me that this weather is perfect for a stroll on the beach or a picnic.

Then you should just click on the weather app on your phone and understand yourself what 90 degrees at noon with a 30% chance of Thunderstorms means. Its pretty easy to get along without Siri or Alexa.
