Been trying to find some of these for ages as alarm clocks for the kids…. Maybe I’ll have some luck here….

The dilemma there is the Hubs are a far more capable device, eg can run YouTube, Netflix, Disney+ etc. Personally, we weren’t comfortable with our kids having 24/7 access to video in their bedrooms, so this was the primary reason we went with the Lenovo clocks which are relatively dumb. (Not saying this necessarily applies to the OP, but may be a factor for some.)

Agreed, yes the Lenovo ones are pretty locked down. Can still play music from spotify but at least no real "video"...
I did manage to find one on TradeMe a few months back now just on the hunt for 2 more :-)

I was looking about 6 months ago for a smart clock 1 (want google assistant instead of alexa) - Smiths city still had stock of the smart clock 2 but looks like no longer.
I ended up purchasing a smart clock 1 off of ebay. Really like it - does exactly what I want it to do - clock, alarms, turn lights on and off, turn TV on and off etc.
