Caught the Bug
Anyone into home automation, smart devices, wearable tech, bots, etc?

We've got our home electronics pretty much 90% automated by now. Nearly all the lights (indoor and outdoor), audio and video equipment, thermostat, deadbolts, garage doors. Ours is Amazon Alexa based. Originally we were going to go with Google Home, however the only acceptable wake phrases at this time are “Okay Google” and "Hello Google”. We couldn't imagine saying. "Google" over and over... felt like a tongue twister. Wake up words for Alexa include “Alexa”, “Amazon”, “Echo” and “Computer” (a nod to Trekkies).
