Just start now..you know it'll happen anyways.
Budgeting and priorizing other projects ahead of the switch. Being a DIY/Maker/Tech Nerd isn't cheap.
I swear they've degraded their current service.
For years I have turned off my son's lights by saying Alexa, lights off. Recently, they say there's many things that go by that name. No shit. But maybe start with the room I'm standing in like you did for years

employees reportedly have doubts about whether the new version of Alexa will catch on.
I have no doubts, ain't nobody paying for this lmao
What will fill the hole of Alexa?
