I own a 3rd gen Echo Dot. I am not sure where it is right now. It needs to be plugged in, so useless as a portable speaker. I don't control anything via voice in my home. The only time I use voice commands is while driving to tell my phone to play some specific song or call someone. I have a few smart lights in my home and I always find it much quicker to change color etc by using the app since the phone is always within reach than call out a voice command.
