This was pretty much the only thing I used Google Assistant for. I bought six Google devices. I thought I would use it for more things, but I ended up just using it for timers when making food or when I was resting and wanted to rest for 30 minutes before I do some chore.
Same here, it's 95% timers when cooking and 5% pause or shutting off the tv when the remote isn't in reach.
