I like being able to control the lights and temp in my house from anywhere. I like being able to play music with my voice. I use those features pretty regularly. But... I have a phone for these things, and real speakers for the music. So even though I'm not quite as much a privacy hawk, smart speakers still mystify me. They seem like a phone that you can't watch anything on or take anywhere.
