I've got to say that I've enjoyed having Echo speakers around the house and the things that they can do. I know Amazon may be listening in on me, but they're bored to tears if they are! But I enjoy having the Echo speakers turn lights on & off around the house, set the Nest thermostat without having to get up, play music, answer questions, etc.
Agreed, and they help family life so much - "announcing" when meals are ready, using "drop in" as an intercom rather than shouting around the home, not to mention the stuff you've already mentioned.
