I personally use Alexa for some light control as well as smart blinds I have installed. Sometimes some basic questions ("What is XY?") and besides that nothing more.

The amount of wrong answers or just telling me something it has found on the web, which has nothing today with the topic is just annoying. Even basic questions seem to not work reliably and looking at the whole Alexa ecosystem it doesn't even feel close to "smart" home.

Lack of context awareness, connection to basic things like parcel delivery, washing machine and similar that would make my life a little easier (because I'm to lazy to open an app to look when my parcels will arrive or when the washing machine will finish) just ruin the whole thing for me.

Besides that, I've tried setting the male voice, but for some responses it just switches back to female Alexa??
