Works OK with a few caveats.
Using this device to help an elderly relative with pill reminders. It works OK most of the time. It has a few minor issues that are fairly easy to deal with. First, it does not seem to be possible to set a reminder for more than a week ahead. Second, sometimes it seems to hear someone talking loud and asks for a command. You can stop it from talking back by pushing down on it or issuing a specific command to it at that point. One of the drawbacks of voice activation I suppose. Last, it takes a while to get used to the commands to set up the clock initially. But, after that, it does seem to work well most of the time. My relative now takes his pills on time, most of the time with the help of this device. ** Update: After using this clock for a while I do have one issue with it. When I go to visit my parents the clock has been unplugged from the wall. Seems the time has changed. I suspect that my father has done something while I was gone to reset the clock and he does not remember how to reset the time. Think I have him trained finally. Time will tell. The clock seems overly sensative, at times, to voice commands. I seems to respond when someone is fairly close and speaks even when they are not trying to communicate with the clock.
