I love this

The Apple Home Hub has proved to be super useful so far.  We have used it for:-

Intercom – this was what we bought it for.  R and I can send voice messages between rooms.  Great for ordering coffee and announcing that the lunch is ready.  Also for those “Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you.” moments.

Reminders – to take the cake out of the oven etc.  With the length of our house it takes a long long time for the smell of burning to permeate from the kitchen to the offices.

Music/Audio Books – turning off and on and following you around the house.  Very good if you are cooking and have messy hands.

Lights – We have smart lights in both our offices which we can turn off and on by voice.

Shopping list – useful when cooking and you remember you are running out of something.  I don’t trust Siri to do the ASDA order on her own yet, though doubtless the day will come.

This has all been particularly useful after my operation, as I tend to sit with the boot off, and having to do up three sets of buckles just to put the light on is a bit of a pain.  I am sure R sees it this way too – though it hasn’t mastered making coffee for me yet.
