Yep, it's these simple thingsthat are actually the killer features for me. Alexa is so cheap too (often given away free with other products like ring cameras) that I have them in most rooms.

Mainly I just use them as alarms, timers, a talking clock and for listening to radio. I occasionally ask it what time a local shop may close or similar.

For the little money I've spent on them I'm perfectly happy using them in such a superficial manner, they make life a little tiny bit easier and that's ok.
