Honestly, smart home devices are cool but not essential. I enjoy the convenience of voice commands and automation, but I could definitely live without all the bells and whistles. 😄 Though I gotta admit, being able to control lights and thermostat from my phone is pretty handy!
I think they're really cool, but honestly easy to go without. Alexa, for example, is one I use occasionally but felt more like a trendy product from a few years ago than a daily use item now.
Smart home devices are definitely convenient, but I don’t want Alexa listening to my private conversations and then feeding recommendations based on that. It’s a bit too invasive for my taste.
