Does not integrate with Hue lights AT ALL. It locates them, but if you tell it to turn one off, it says, OK, we've turned off 5 lights. Then you say, turn that ONE light on, and it says, OK, we've turned on 13 lights. Totally ridiculous as I've set my lights up in Hue and also have them working with Alexa and they respond PERFECTLY. Not so with this thing. It's going back today.

Might as well have bought a paper weight. Have to say "hey google" at least 3 times every time. Half the time I ask it something simple like "what time is it?" and I get "hmmm...thinking. Sorry, I can't answer that right now." Save your money and go with amazon, my first gen echo runs circles around this worthless paper weight.

Not compatible

This was part of a bundle with Tiles. We have a competitor’s product, thought we’d try this. It’s not compatible with our music, smart home, etc. Reviews were meh. It was going to have a future as a paperweight.
It went back. And, since it was a package deal with Tiles, they went back, too. Oh, and salespeople were less-than-helpful.
