I have a system of smart speakers where I can play music all around the house since they are networked together. I can also control smart bulbs, streaming devices, a robo vac all with voice. I also have 6 smart plugs where I can control lamps, fans, fireplace through voice control. My thermostat and ceiling fans are also voice controlled. If I have to change settings on my thermostat I Can do so by voice instead of running downstairs and getting out of bed. I also have a weather station that gives weather sounding that hooks into the same system. One of my favorite set ups is a smart plug connected to my rice cooker. I mix Oatmeal in the rice cooker the night before and when I get up I tell it to start and take my shower shave and change clothes and when I go down stairs Oatmeal is ready. Life is good.

My plan is to have an integrated speaker system that is connected to a computer, whose sole responsibility is to play music.

That’s my plan, after I win the lottery.

Pretty cool. I guess you will no longer need your legs and arms by 2525.

My daughter recently bought a home with controls similar to yours. She hasn't figured out how to turn on the outside spotlights or big fan yet. Other than that, she loves the convenience!

OK, I 'get' that you're smarter than the rest of us (and that's something I admire...) but why don't you and people like you start a business called, "Life can be Grrrrreat'..." and sell the skill/ability/service... to make our wonderful technology work for us too ... for all of us.

I have a system of smart speakers where I can play music all around the house since they are networked together.

I did that too, having them networked together and sync'd up playing music while I clean the house makes the job go faster.

I also have an Alexa connected to my 30 year old JVC RX-905 Super Dynamic A amp to stream music. Love being able to do that with my old amp. Nothing sounds as good as that amp with my Boston Acoustics CR9's and my dual M&K 500w subs.

I also have my lights connected to Alexa and Alexa Auto in my Jeep. So nice to be able to tell the house lights to turn on from the Jeep when I'm pulling up into my driveway. No more walking into a dark house and risking another trip/fall/broken bone. Been there, done that.
