I don't want to sound like a smart ass, but I feel like a good alternative to Alexa is just doing all that yourself.
I have never had an Alexa but surely there isn't that much time saved by having it turn off lights. Siri on your iPhone can set alarms and shopping lists and presumably your phone it always around you.
- lixtra 5y ago> I have never had an Alexa but surely there isn't that much time saved by having it turn off lights You should try. It’s a trade off: You choose when to spend more time to set up the assistant, in order to save time setting an alarm while you have your hands in the dough.
- bambax 5y agoBut the point of the alarm is to be able to leave and do something else. If Alexa is in the kitchen and you're in the garden it doesn't work? I use the timer on my watch; then I can go away and completely forget about it, and be reminded in time.
- neetrain 5y agoIt makes sense, but I never realized how much my brain resources has wasted for finding the remotes for lights and an air conditioner before I tried alexa.
- Talanes 5y agoThe most important function my Alexa serves is acting as the alarm that isn't my phone/requires a separate skill set to disable. Simultaneously talking and manipulating a phone is a magnitude harder to sleep through than just the phone.
