I'd buy a device just to do the timer setting, weather checking, and light control consistently and without selling my data. I have found it enormously useful and get frustrated/miss it when I don't have it. I also love the music playing feature but don't see how I can get that without being tracked/updates being pushed that require maintenance. I have found that relying on these devices to have consistent usability when the processing is all done on the cloud and out of my control was a foolish mistake. I do wish I could revert my google home to ~two years ago.
