    Works great in the kitchen for music, timers & general information. No brainer for less than $30 as a smart device

    I have both the Echo Dot and now this. For my needs the Echo dot edges out the Home mini. More flexibility for Home automation on the Dot as far as devices/Groups settings.. There is definitely room for improvements on the mini though...
