I just got the Echo Dot to try it out as I already have a Hive home connected system. I can control some lights and the central heating thermostat with it. It's fairly rudimentary but has a lot of potential that I hope will be realised in the near future. I've found it handy for a quick news summary, checking my local train service, and for simple questions and even a casual dip into radio such as BBC radio 4. Overall, I like it enough to anticipate getting its bigger brother for Xmas.

Hi: In my opinion, if you're not wanting to use Audible, Google home wins the vote; however, if Audible is important, then forget Google home. I have access to both devices.
