They seem a bit silly until you get one and then the idea of going without it feels frustrating. I have a couple (kitchen/living room and bedroom). I use it daily for setting timers when cooking, turning on/off the lights and adjusting them (e.g. turning to a specific setting if I'm watching a movie) and when I finish reading in bed at night I can just tell it to turn off all the lights to save me getting out of bed and getting back in the dark. Obviously none of this is necessary and could be done in other ways but it's useful and relatively cheap (I got both echo dots in sales and 3 out of 4 bulbs in sales too). Edit: I presume you're talking about Alexa in general and not this specific landlord product.
