>Alexa has opened up a whole new avenue of hacks. Previously you had to get light switches with random timers if you wanted electric light on Saturday, but now you can make an Alexa routine that is triggered by certain words or motions so that it technically doesn't count as "activating" the switch. I don't know any rabbi which would allow this. Maybe it's a conservative thing.
