I use it as a timer and to control a couple smart lights. About 1 in 5 times I use it as a basic utility, it attempts to sell me something. I have nearly stopped using it altogether as a result of this unwanted behavior.
As an added annoyance, I moved states and it reports the weather in my previous location, despite repeated attempts to update my home location through the app. So I don’t even ask it the weather any more.
At one point it was the cheapest whole-home, multi-speaker audio setup on the market. But I use spotify as the music source.
None of these things generate revenue for Amazon, and their feeble attempts to do so run counter to the actual utility of the device.
