I use my Google Home mini and Home Hub every day to ask for the weather and set timers to alert the kids that it's bed time. We use them to play songs and my 4 year old asks Google questions about Spanish words every other day. They're neat to have around.

Songs are a pretty nice functionality.

I guess that can be done on non smart speakers too.

The alert thing is really cool! A unique way to handle kids.

Totally. I'm not the bad guy but the alarm is. Putting on the cleanup song helps cleaning up go faster.
