Mine just arrived about 30 minutes ago. Setup was ridiculously easy.
So far, I've just used it to stream music and ask random questions. Seems to have a ton of "easter eggs" and the responses are usually pretty good.
Also have it paired with our Nest Thermostat and it immediately changes the temperature upon request. Have heard great reviews on the Philips Hue light system, will be buying some shortly to automate the upstairs lighting.
Is it a luxury? Sure. I'll say it is nice to do some things without needing to have my phone on me, and from what I've read it can do a LOT of things if you're willing to do some research and spend more money on home automation.
