We have and use an alexa and a google home to listen to morning radio and music. My streaming service is through amazon so it's very convenient. The only other "smart" tech I have is the Philips HUE led light strips. They look great in our living room and are pretty painless to set up. No smart thermostats or doorbells for us.
- I like the idea of controllable lights - I've set some RGB LED arrays up around our front room and have a crappy wee remote to change them.Nairn

Right now I have a bunch of Philips Hue white bulbs in various spots in the house (lamps mostly) which have worked great for years. I can dim lights for story/bed time for the toddler without getting out of bed and disturbing the process. I can just say "set bedtime" and everything updates for each room automatically.

I have a few smart lights set up, but other than that my home is pretty stupid.

I got a couple of (groups of) lightbulbs connected to Google via the IKEA gateway, mostly because it's the easiest way to group and dim the lights. I communicate through a Google Nest/Hub in the kitchen, wich can also control the TV, play music, answer questions and (I have actually used this) read me recipies in easy steps.
That's about as smart as my house will get, apart from the car charger, which is a system of it's own.
