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.
