Almost missed out! Started the trial because I have some family staying at my house while I’m not there and wanted to give them some controls of things. After playing around with it, I really like the idea and how easy and polished everything is! Now to find some of my old phones lying around here…
You really should consider getting some cheap tablets. You run out of real-estate fast on phones and the little screen makes the experience less than desirable.
I use Fire Tabets with Alexa Hand Free Mode enabled. Solid combo as we find ourselves going past a tablet, it lighting up showing what’s on/off, and then saying, “Alexa turn such and such off/on”. Visual feedback with voice commands!
I’ll probably start with a simple guest panel that has my “Goodnight” routine and then a few lights that guests might need in the middle of the night and looks ok on a 5" phone screen. I did make a sort of “central command” panel that I can see wanting at least 7-8" at a minimum. And prime day is right around the corner…
