The speakers are great and the device has temperature sensor and ultrasound. It was worth the trade-in upgrade for me.
My mom really enjoys using the smart speaker for various tasks such as weather, news, answering calls, checking messages, and playing her favorite tunes with just the sound of her voice.

The smart speaker is ready to use in just two minutes out of the box and is very easy to set up.
The smart speaker is connected to the wifi switch and notifies me when the temperature reaches 70 degrees, turning on the ceiling fan. It also turns off when the fireplace turns off and the temperature drops to 68 degrees, with the fan turning on and off at these 2 degree settings. It's the best routine yet, in my opinion.
