A little eye-opening to read about the issues experienced. Glad I wasn’t an early adopter in this case.

    Honestly, the biggest thing they need to fix is the assistant. It can’t even set the alarm to 5:05 with voice commands, without suggesting that I meant to say 5:05, which is exactly what I said.

    It often mistakes what was said, and does a google search, even though you asked it to do a function it’s perfomed many times before (like tirning on a light).

      So her biggest issue is that the tablet wasn’t on the dock when it needed to be used. Because she took it and wanted to use it for herself. Having a smart home hub means you can’t take it away and use it to surf the web.

      Is this to downplay the pain points she encountered? Because reading it another way it seems like a total indictment of the concept behind merging a tablet with a smart hub.

      • Because it’s the opposite of how I would do it. I see the value in using a tablet off the shelf to control a smart home, but if it were me id probably mount it in a case to prevent it from walking away. I wouldn’t want somebody picking it up and using it around the house, that’s what their own tablet is for, but this one stays stationary in the kitchen.
