1. When Your Hands Are Otherwise Occupied

Let voice control be an extra set of hands when you have an armload of groceries, laundry, or anything else. Verbally ask your home to turn on exterior porch lights when you’re walking up with hands full of pizza boxes for dinner or interior laundry room lights when you’re walking down the hallway with a full load of dirty clothes.
