I use my dots to turn on/off/set scenes for my hue lights, my tv/entertainment system through a Logitech hub, arm my self monitored smartthings alarm system when I go to bed, and my wife programs her sous vide to cook things as well as uses timers, weather, music through Spotify etc. There’s lots of uses if you end up buying additional items. The sous vide is awesome, produces great food with ease.
This is a big deal for me though. I have not been happy with my Spotify experience for the past few months, but switched to it because Apple Music isn’t compatable with Alexa. It seems like I can get a Sonos for Alexa but still use Apple Music. I was already setup with Apple Music with multiple Apple TVs and iPhones so this is a good compromise, and I’m sure the sound on the Sonos is way better than the dot connected to a Bluetooth speaker. Also AM is way better when it comes to uploading your music to the cloud, it’s accesable anywhere you go in your library and when you search, it shows as a unified library, no other service is as seamless as AM is. Don’t even get me started on amazon music cloud.
