Google Home or Amazon Echo in India

[neostan]

Is anyone using Google Home or Amazon Echo from India? Can you please tell me if it is working fine or if there are any hiccups using them in India?

Thanks in Advance.

I useboth and they work absolutely fine

@superczar do you integrate it with Philips Hue? Also does it work with iPhone (I assume it does)? Which on do you feel is better on your opinion?

 

[superczar]

I prefer the echo as ir recognizes Indian accents without a hiccup

You can skip the first 30 seconds as that is Siri in use

Wow this is super cool. Can we integrate our existing lighting at home to be controlled via echo ?

 

[neostan]

@superczar what is the lock system you use for the main door? looks cool.

 

[superczar]

Its a kwikset z wave lock.. actually it looks kind of clumsy in the video with the time it takes to unlock
although in daily use, I normally ask the door to be unlocked while I am parking my car.

So amazon might launch the echo range officially in india with local language support too! see https://www.androidcentral.com/amazon-echo-may-land-india-end-2017-regional-language-support

maybe that's why currently it's not available on amazon website - but they are selling the google home device!

[vishalrao]

Nah, I'm already doing my own research and experimentation on this hehehe No spoonfeeding necessary, but it's OK if anyone wants to chime in.

So I did an Artificial Intelligence live demo at my workplace today during our lunch break which apparently was a smash hit with my coworkers!

To get an idea of what we experienced see this official video:
