Before moving in together, Mr. CE liked to tease me that he's perfectly capable of turning lights on an off himself. He's come around.
Kitchen uses:
1. As a cooking timer
2. To add things to our shopping list (very useful for a multi-person household)
3. To listen to music or news, since we don't have a TV in that room
4. To silence our Nest Protect when cooking
Living room:
1. To listen to music
2. To turn all living room lights on and off
3. To settle arguments
4. As an alarm/timer
Bedroom:
1. As an alarm clock
2. To turn off bedroom lights and hallway lights
3. To listen to music
4. To adjust the thermostat
We don't yet have the Echo integrated into our TV, but I'd really like to get to the point where we can use it to search for shows on TV...remote controls are inefficient!
What light system are you using? I have Hue and it's great to work with individual lights, but seems hit and miss with light groups.
