What do you use your Amazon Alexa device for

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

Hi @csno01 I used to use my alexa for those things too. Now I have a Google hub home

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?

Lol @Cher_Scope when the grandkids was visiting it would be 

Play the poo poo song (yes there is a song)

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.

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