I bought the first gen Echo for the novelty of it. It's set up in the kitchen, we use it for weather reports, sometimes for a timer, although I usually use my Apple Watch and or my iPhone for timers. Sometimes I listen to music when working in the kitchen, but more often than not I've got Netflix playing on an old iPad that is mounted on the backsplash.
My husband will use it for music, and sometimes to start his car, but it's quicker for him to use the Buick app on his phone. I think he has some news briefings set up too.
For those times I'm listening to an audiobook, or music, I find it easier to use my iPhone, so I can carry it with me. I don't use audiobooks very often though.
We don't have any other smart devices. I love gadgets, I love my iDevices, but don't have a need for voice control over my stuff.
