I've recently worked out how to play music from my phone on my son's Alexa. We've had it for about three years. I don't think it can turn the lights off or the heating up.

It's used for multiple things the lights thing is just a gimmick, I mainly use mine for music.

I have Spotify on my Sky Q which works on my tv’s. I don’t really listen to music in the house though.

They really are gay mate, when you go in somebody’s house and they’re stood there shouting at a box to turn the light off/on when they’re standing 3 yards away from the switch.

Oh yeah they are very nerdy.

My thoughts exactly!
It's hilarious. I mean, light switches are generally near the entrance/exit to a room anyway, and generally you switch the lights on when you enter a room and switch them off when you exit the room, so you walk right past the fecking switch each time you enter or leave the room!

My daughter has one of the Google thingies in her room, and I am constantly hearing her saying "Ok Google, play Taylor Swift...etc" and I just roll my eyes.

Ok google... for **** sake.

The irony is all the gadgets are called ‘smart’ something or other, but their target market is your average mong like Luv.
