@yorrike Great question. I really want something good for the kitchen, so we're going to give one of the Echo devices a go at some point. Other than that the HomePod devices look interesting, if only because I trust Apple regarding privacy, audio quality, and we are mostly converted from non-Apple to all-Apple.

As far as lights, door locks, kitchen appliances, and the like... nope no thank you. These so-called smart devices are nowhere near good enough for me to consider that sort of thing.
