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.

That actually sounds pretty cool

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.
