@kp_rider@techhub.social Why bother with Google or Alexa if there's the Open Source Home Assistant 😉 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Assistant Speaking seriously, I don't like stuff which depends on a cloud service that may shut down or change it's API at any time, turning a piece of hardware into junk. Local solutions based on Home Assistant (or similar) are so much more made for long-term-use. (you can still make Home Assistant available over the Internet if you really want that) @TechConnectify@mas.to #HomeAssistant
