Hi everyone,

Out of interest, for those of you who have an Amazon Alexa device, what do you use it for? I know the device can be a lifeline for many people, particularly the visually impaired community.

What do you use your device for?
I’ll go first:

Listening to music
Checking the weather forecast
Keeping up-to-date with the news

    My use sounds something like this, Alexa:
    • Play nursery rhymes please
    • Play baby shark!
    • What time is it?
    • What are the headlines?
    • Play LBC
    • Play Radio 2
    • What's the weather like?
    • What noise does a cow make? 
     :D

    I sometimes use it for music. The weather, that's every morning, as it's set to reply with that when I start the good morning routine of it switching on various smart plugs. Smart plug request to charge my wheelchair. As a reminder for appointments the night before & morning of. As a timer, often. Then the good night routine to turn all plugs off, when she comes up with some cute phrase to say goodnight. :D

    The Poo Poo song has also been played on request of great nephew when he visits. :smiley:
