Im not sure we could handle hearing your comments echoed multiple times….
I still can't decide between an Echo and Home
For me I like the Echo simply cause I can use "computer" as the wake word which is a lot better in my opinion then "Ok Google".
I would say google home. It's actually built for the Australian market and is ready to go. With the Alexa you need to dick around with region and other things just to get the thing online. Then it isn't localized and you need to specify Sydney things. Apparantly Google has a better search and Alexa has better automation. However google is catching up quick.
I have an alexa and while I love it I just can't help the google home will be better just because of that. Might change when Amazon comes to Oz.
Yeah I'm thinking I might just wait until the new year for a possible Amazon AU launch and see what happens. I've lasted this long without one.
besides, to include Hue into my house is going to cost over $1K. So it's a bit of an investment if I got this route and I already have voice automation over my home theater via my Xbox.
In this situation an OzBargainer buys both! (when on special of course)
I've had an Echo for about 2 years plus added a Dot to my car so I can still stream Pandora to my car stereo with voice control.
Considering getting another Echo for the dining room area.
Waiting for the new ehco later this year
Better try down load elexa first before buying the echo. A week ago having really hard time getting alexa., it for USA only. Did a bit if research apprently event if you manage the workaround time and temperature etc wont be correct
State Surveillance is always so tempting.
As is pervasive 24-hour wifi
Awesome timing…
I was looking for an echo, an answer to my sound. A place to be in harmony, a place I almost found.
