$25 Smart Socket Review
Let me paint a picture for you. It’s 11:30pm, you’re in bed, just about ready to fall asleep. Your significant other rolls over in bed and asks you “did you turn off the Christmas tree lights?”.

That’s not the story I’m about to tell though. Except for a few minor flaws I’m very happy with my Google Home Minis.
