I have Google Home but I only plug it in the socket when I want to use it so no privacy worries.
I mostly use it for one thing. Hey Google, call _____-____-___. Google will dial my phone and I don't have to search the house for it. It has been worth the $30 I paid for it just for this purpose. LOL I don't like the fact so many needed functions of a home can be controlled by the internet. But the older I get I can see the need for having certain things done by simply using a cell phone. Did you see the new insoles for shoes? It tracks people, those with memory loss, so they can be found if they stray away from home.
