Feel really guilty, my one family member gave me this. I don’t use much google stuff anymore and I really dislike the company as it gets more intrusive. Is there anything I can do with this thing besides give it away? Nothing is worse than getting a gift that you can’t use.

    We keep ours on a window sill behind a curtain. We have to yell at it 3 times to make it work, but it’s still better than looking under the couch for the tv remote.

      I don’t have a TV. That’s why the nest thing is so odd. It does seem like it would bw fun to tinker around with.

        It’s handy - turn on/off lights, adjust thermostat, set reminders (like to remember cat medicine) or cooking timers. We had the Google one but switched to the Alexa one So i could ‘drop in’ on my mom and set it to call me if she said HELP.
