    I've got 3 Minis, a Home Display (or whatever they are called with the recent Nest rebranding), a Chromecast,a few smart switches and lightbulbs. Thinking about getting an outside security camera.
    I'm always misplacing my mobile around the house so my favourite command is "OK Google. Ring my phone"
    I started off with an Amazon Echo but I don't use it any more. Google's search intelligence is much better and it helps if you are fully embedded in the Google ecosystem of services. I just wish my Assistant could access my work Office365 calendar

    Woah, that’s a lot of tech! I will try to sync google calendar but with the way our family’s Google accounts are set up it may be different to actually just do mine!
    Did you mean difficult?...If you have all set up Voice recognition correctly it should only give you your calendar details. If you all also have a joint calendar, it will be linked to your account and give you details from that as well. 
    I did, it’s a typo! And it’s my Home Mini (which only I use) connected to my Dad’s Google Account (I’ve only had one a month) which (I think) has his work stuff on it.
