I won't have an Alexa in the house. Actually, I did. My son gave us
one. It never left the box.

My son gave us the one we have. Never really wanted one. Turns out it
is pretty darned nice. I now have a bunch of them around the house.

Besides controlling a bunch of lights, they answer most questions, like
convert 32mm to inches, or 7 day weather forecast, or how many miles
from Pgh to Denver.

Yeah but the price of controlling lights is being controlled yourself.
Not going to happen.

Smart plugs were $7 apiece. I can afford it. Not sure how controlling my
lights is controlling myself. but I enjoy going to bed and simply saying
turn off all lights and poof, lights are off.

Also enjoy all the other benefits of light control, music access, most
radio stations across the country (Iheart radio), weather forecast
anywhere in the country and encyclopedia all within sound of my voice.
Other benefits like set an alarm for 4 minutes (eggs) or set reminder
every Monday at 7pm to take out rubbish. All sorts of life controlling
things, all well worth the small expense.
