Pretty much the same list at my home.
I also use Siri on my apple watch for more personal things: todos, reminders, other me-specific interactions.
One issue I find to be huge but haven't seen mentioned in this thread is household assistants require shared accounts. So I can tell my watch "Remind me in 30 mins to buy that present for my partner" but if I did it on my Alexa they'd also see it. And thus we only use Alexa for truly household-wide things.
IMO a killer app would be voiceprint detection and an ability to funnel the speaker to their own account for things.
- lsaferite 4y agoAlexa supports multiple profiles and voice print detection for profile owners. It's actually quit annoying TBH. I set it up a long time ago but it never really had any issues until recently. My wife's account is the one linked to the HA instance and it always voice prints me to my profile which isn't set up for HA control I guess. I'm not sure if they changed something about how HA stuff works on the backend or what, but I'll resolve it at some point.
- jghn 4y agoI didn't realize it did voice print. Either I missed that or they didn't have it way back when we first got ours. But yes, something where you could trivially say "these commands are generic, these commands are not" and it works perfectly would be the thing that puts a household voice assistant over the top for me.
