So It started with just an Alexa bought as a gift, I now have 2 and one more on the way. 1 upfront, the big speaker which is a bit silly as I have my new sound system up there so it only really get's used when we eat dinner.
One in the computer room I mainly use to "Alexa, set 14 min timer" so I'm not late from break or lunch for work.
New one is for the wife, it's her Christmas Present will go in the bedroom, it has a screen so she can watch videos, BUT I also got a camera for in the living room/dining room. This way when we are not home she can peek in on the puppers, and if she hears a noise instead of me getting up she can "see the front" area. Also will have recording so if ever we were robbed we could at least increase the chances of getting the perps on "Candid Camera, the SA PD Edition".

My dining room, living room all have voice activated lights that I can set to timers when we aren't home, in fact they all kick on at 0715 to greet us, they can change colors as well which can be trippy. I'mma do a red green mash for Christmas Morning.

We're planning on getting several of the dots when we finally buy a home, so we can have communication between rooms without yelling. Haven't thought much beyond that.

I'll have to take a video, but the entertainment center, has two glass doors, and I installed LED lights to show all the stuff in there, I just tell Alexa "Display on" and pop, lights on! It's kinda fun actually. Of watching a movie "Alexa, Living 5%" and the light dims..
