minus-squareDianogalinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·edit-29 months agoMy main use case for voice is for things that I haven’t been able to (reasonably) automate. For a couple of examples: Saying “turn on the TV” as I’m grabbing lunch and walking across the room “Turn on/off the stars” for bedroom mood lighting “Timer for x” is honestly probably the most used things. It’s all fairly trivial stuff to do manually but I think that’s probably true for the vast majority of home automation.
