I use it to do things at the same time as other things. I can add something to the shopping list when I’m cooking or turn on the fan when I’m getting ready for bed without stopping what I’m doing to click buttons. I find that it’s really good for things that can’t easily be automated but you also can’t (or don’t want to) put on a physical button.
I actually use Alexa as I haven’t had time to investigate HA voice control but the principle is the same.
No Alexa here for more reasons than just being a voice assistant.
None of them would particularly useful to me even if I didn’t hate them, due to a lot of hearing loss. Real voices are hard enough and the ones from a speaker are worse. Anything from a PA system is unintelligible.
Most things we have automated with sensors, schedules and buttons. Not much else to be done that can’t be done with a few seconds of infrequent manual input, or shortcut software button on device.
I think I’m dead set on this. It’s nice to see others getting along, but I’ll never want it.
