Fun home assistant, but has room to grow. As more functionality rolls out I see it becoming a must have

So easy to set up and gives you access to google assistant as well as connectivity to all your smart home devices. The price point means you can put these in less commonly used areas like bedrooms.

Works just as advertised and as I expected it to. I purchased one for each of my children's rooms. From the main google home I send reminders, alarms, and easily turn on the light in their room with the smart bulb. I plan to add additional smart devices throughout our home. I do feel that smart devices in general are costly.

I bought a google home mini for both of my inlaws and my parents as presents. I personally haven't had much interaction with the devices, but they have told me over and over how much they enjoy using it.
The setup for all parties was pretty painless. My parents aren't tech savvy at all, but they didn't need hardly any help. Setup with the app was done on both iPhone and Android, both without issue. My inlaws use their mini for scheduling, making lists, and getting sports scores. They are very happy with it. My parents use it for controlling various IOT devices they have bought since getting the mini, and various questions.
Everyone is really happy with my gift, so I guess I did a good job this year.

I bought 3 Google Mini's, one for each floor, to voice control our lights, thermostat and entertainment. It leaves a lot to be desired on those fronts, being limited which partner companies it will work with. There are also some undocumented "limitations" to how it works with those systems.
For example, if you have two groups of lights designated on a floor, the Mini (and Google) will not recognize them separately. Similarly with Harmony Remotes. If you have a "livingroom" hub and a "basement" hub, you can only control one of them with your voice. Seems ridiculous that you can't say "turn on the livingroom TV" without sacrificing any control over the basement TV.
As far as working with the standard services, it is very responsive and fun for listening to music with the family, or getting a news update, or asking for a joke or to sing happy birthday.
For the price, its pretty good. But there's a lot of work to be done before it can do all of the things they claim it will do smoothly.

I bought this and put it in the living room and it was difficult getting it synced with my WiFi and after working on it with a Google tech it was determined that it was a defective product and too small for the area I wanted it for. Change to a Google home and that has been amazing. Google mini would be great as a supplement in another room such as a bedroom.
