I've just ordered a Google Home. I wanted one before it was available in the Netherlands, but when it was released last year I didn't get one because the only reason was because I think it's a fun gadget.
However, I've been wanting to get a bigger Bluetooth speaker to stream music to. It's possible to do so with my Sonos speaker (which I love), but it's a bit cumbersome. When looking at speakers I decided to check if the Google Home was able to stream music from an iPod and it can. The speakers I had planned on getting was €119 and the Google Home is €149. For and extra €30 and get a lot more functionality.
I'll probably keep using my Sonos for listening to the radio. If I end up not using it anymore I'll move it to my studio room or maybe the bathroom or the store.
I do, eventually, want to connect some lights to it. But I'll have to research which system. It'll probably be the Click On Click Off products, since we sell those in our store so I can get them at a discount. I do like the Philips Hue series, but according to Philips we aren't specialized enough, though we are specialized enough to repair those products according to their helpdesk (in reality I think the big/huge store have made a deal with Philips that they can sell certain products but independent stores can't, we've had it happen with several Philips products).
