It seems dumb, but being able to voice command little things like "Set an alarm/timer" or "What's the weather"

becomes second nature and much easier than pulling out your phone to do the same function. The music integration is of course nice.

My favorite though is reordering things from Amazon by telling it to. It does lots more now including controlling our Nest, telling me where my son's car is via Automatic Pro, etc. etc.

- Beyond programming, the thing with Nest now is the other integrations. With Automatic it will pre-cool the house down before I get home - oblique Oct 4, 09:21
