So is alexa integration pretty the same thing as Google using the Home app and devices?

Is Alexa better at it than Google?

Responses:

I believe so but we just have Echos in our house. I have one Google Home Mini that I got free with something but never unboxed it. -- nm - oblique Apr 12, 11:11 5
- I'm the opposite. Google around the house, but had a free Echo I got but haven't removed from the box. - sycor Apr 12, 11:17 4
  - The thing I found is that while apps and such are neat, I primarily interact with the smart home via voice or automation (both which Alexa handles) - oblique Apr 12, 11:19 3
    - Nice! I've just always wanted to dashboard for some reason. Plus is can help when visitors are over. - sycor Apr 12, 11:25 1
      - just FYI, the Kindle Fire HD tablet also comes with a dashboard to control everything -- nm - decline Apr 12, 11:46
    - I usually use voice interaction, although now that I have the Echo 15 mounted in my kitchen I do use it's dashboard a lot to turn things on and off - decline Apr 12, 11:23
