>No, something more akin to a smart display without a battery and a chassis that works well for being on a shelf or nightstand. Or just hackable. The Lenovo Smart Clock 2 is a 4 inch touchscreen Google Home clock, microphone, decent little speakers, for $20. Apparently it is hackable and fully rooted: https://github.com/untocodes/lenovo-cube-hacking I don't see anybody doing anything cool with it though. I wouldn't mind just forcing it to always display a webpage to display blood glucose levels with nightscout. I'd give them to all my diabetic relatives.

Doesn't show my Google calendar reminders
Getting it to play a morning routine failed, and when it worked the volume levels were all over the place - sometimes the news it played me would be super loud, sometimes I couldn't here the radio or music it played next.
It can't play a youtube video
It didn't have loads of basic controls when listening to podcasts (speed, skip back 30 seconds etc)
Can't display a custom home screen, I'd love to see more weather detail, or a tide chart, or local traffic news.
As I say, really wanted to like it, but never found a use for it yet.
