Do you own an Amazon echo?

Yes, I do. I checked out a few like Google Home but found I prefered all that the smart speak, Amazon Echo, would let me do. How about you?

I do have one, it is weird though, it turns on when I do not even say Alexa, which is weird

I have found that too. She'll just start spouting off a recipe or the weather without being asked. I love that it can control several smart devices turning into my own home automation hub. She'll turn on lights which is my favorite.

That is the best, having it synced to my lights is so much better

Its so true though I can't forget, music playback, making to-do lists, setting alarms, streaming podcasts, playing audiobooks, and providing weather, traffic and other real-time information.

It is all so cool, and for only like 40 bucks, it can make life a lot easier for sure!

It really does. Though sometimes I joke with my spouse that she might be listening to our conversation. ha ha.  Who knows for sure.  I saw the reviews for Google Home and Invoke weren't as good so I went for the best.

Apparently it doesn't listen to you in the way you think, which is a reilief, but who really knows for sure, it is crazy if it does listen and people are willingly giving that all away
