Texsox Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Anyone else using one? Currently I am controlling my lights via Philips Hue, but the rest is really mostly as an alarm clock and quick weather reports, etc. It seems like I'm wasting a lot of capability.

He didn't quite spell it out, but I'm pretty sure that's the feature Tex is looking to utilize more/better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I use it, but also mostly for music. I have a dot in my room that I use for things like alarm clock, morning briefing, check the train schedule etc. You can fully customize it using ifttt.com and do some interesting script type things. For example when my alarm goes off or when I turn off my house alarm, it turns on my lights downstairs. When I get on my wifi driving in the driveway it turns off my alarm and turns on the lights. Things like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting it to speak with a cowboy accent is the hard part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I have looked in to both the Amazon Echo and the Google Home, and I think when I eventually get one, it will be Google Home. The chromecast tie-in is just too strong for me to ditch with Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
