These are so convenient and well…smart and helpful, but going home to the Apple ecosystem means it has gone unused in its lonely box for months. If you’re an Android smart home or user, this is a breeze to set up after which point you will be able to use it as an intercom from anywhere just to mess with house mates, family. I used it most frequently as an intercom alarm to wake up my husband when he wasn’t working, and I was just on my patio. The best idea ever was adding the ability to type to the assistant instead of dictate so the assistant took all the heat. Positive there are a bunch of ways to use it, I’m just lazy and also petty. Come at me folks. Still $99 MSRP.
