My lights are voice activated, this ain't the 00's ffs!!

I don't use Alexa though, all my lights, heating etc. runs through Google Home.

I have them around the house, great for music as they all link up. Also great for phoning people, don't need your phone at all.

I bought my mum an Alexa for Christmas, it basically spends it's time saying 'Sorry, I don't know the answer to that one'.

Other than that my daughter just tells it to play the Peppa Pig theme tune.

Overall opinion = it's ****.

It's not really but the thought of having my every word recorded and logged is not for me at all.

Not hearing all that "if you've nothing to hide" ****e neither. Everyone has something to hide.

But really it's the idea of being recorded and logged in my own gaff.
Nah, I'm good turning off my own lights ta<laugh>

The light app saves you money, plus it has some great ways to stop you getting burgled. Its not laziness as I still use the light switch. The voice stuff is a gimmick tbh, but surround lighting is cool when watching a film.

It's one of those things that people seem to hate if they haven't got it or tried it.

I personally think the benefits of having a Google Home far outweigh the negatives.

In this world if they want to record you they will find a way.
