  1. So… it's Friday night and I'm working on the implementation of my “smartened” bedroom.  I now have smart bulbs installed in all lighting.  For my tiny table lamp, I don't own a smart bulb small enough for it, so it's plugged into a smart switch I purchased on Black Friday.  Now I just have to tell Alexa which light I want her to manage, and she does.  This will certainly come in handy in the mornings… Alexa wakes me up with a song, but I have to get out of bed and turn on the lights myself, a task that is easier some days than others.  *Sigh* maybe I won't oversleep so much now.  We'll see.

    I'm having fun with this though.  :P

      It is, so far.  I am currently trying to figure out how to get Alexa to turn off all the lights in my bedroom at once, instead of doling out a command one light fixture at a time.  

      I also recommend the Google Home Mini.  I got one free when I purchased my most recent smartphone, so I’ve been testing it out.  The hardware retails for about the same as the Amazon hardware.  I find the GHM to be equally useful; I made my choice to automate with Amazon a long time ago, so I’m sticking with that platform.
