Google Home Mini or Amazon Echo Dot

Voice automation it’s the lights. Thinking of getting an Nvidia shield, which has Google assistant, so if I do it will be for the telly as well. Get it to tell me the news, and when I have issues falling asleep I usually ask it to play a ‘babbling brook’ sound to help me fall over. Done this last night, slept great!

I often cast to it from my phone as well, music and podcast. I have my home and home mini in a group, so when I cast to that group it plays on both. Good for when I’m pottering around the flat.

I’m using it for general queries more and more as well, rather than doing a Google search. It’s also got me using the assistant on my phone more and more. Things like sending texts or turning on/off settings.
