[964rh]

I/we use Alexa in a few rooms, linked to Apple Music and used for background music and to turn some lamps that are placed in a position to hide from our 2yr old.

The music choices can be a bit hit and miss, especially when trying to play a specific, personal, playlist but for  'Alexa, play some blues music' commands seems to work ok. My one gripe is said 2yr old now knows how to ask Alexa to play baby Shark!!!

However, I also wouldn't class them as intelligent or smart, more convenient

For more than background music, we have this semi old fashioned setup in our bedroom, where you still have to touch most of the medium you want to play (ignore the Ipad!!!) and it's out of reach of the little boy
