Most of us in Lemmy know the importance of privacy and owning your devices in a big tech owned world (me included) but for once I thought to make the opposite question and ask if there are products by them that you actually use and enjoy them.
Important to say, I mean products you use even though there are alternatives, not monopolies like YouTube.
I love my Google Home and how it’s connected to my Phillips Hue bulbs. I love being able to just yell “hey Google, nightlight” when I stumble home after a long night out, no need to fight with switches and too-bright lights after drinking
I use Home Assistant to connect all the proprietary trash together but talk to my Watch rather than a smart speaker. I just haven’t got into the speaker lifestyle thus far.
Bro, fucking yes!!
I have 3 Google nest mini speakers or whatever they’re called, and I bought these smart outlets at target.
Connected 2 of them in the master bedroom, to bedside lamps for wifey and i. Being able to use the Google home app from our phones to control, or as you said just “hey Google, turn on Daddy’s lamp” is fucking solid. I hate flicking on light switches. Never realized it until I set this up.
