I just built my home this past summer, and allowed for "smart home" devices in the wiring. I did all of the low voltage wiring myself.
At the time, I was still battling with which "smart home" platform to use, and reviews of the leading contenders kept changing. (I had used Lowe's IRIS in my previous home, but there just didn't seem to be that much ongoing development and third party devices)
For Christmas, my son-in-law got me an Amazon Dot. I played with it a bit, asking for weather reports, stuff like that, and decided to get a couple smart plugs and switches.
I was also able to tie in my existing smart thermostat, both garage doors, security camera system....
Then I added another dot at my Church office, and was pleasantly surprised to discover I can control all my home devices from the office, and vise versa.
I have fun walking into my church office and saying "Alexa, turn on Pastor Lights". My wife loves turning on the bedroom lights from the living room, before she goes down that hall at night.
I have a new hobby!
Just one question... why's there a tiny 666 on the bottom of the dots?
