Just wondering how everyone is controlling their smart home these days. Do you use Alexa, Google, Siri or something else?

    I’ve persistently used Alexa - but only because I received a bunch Echo devices from a friend and it was easy to set up.

    I’m planning to move to a locally controlled voice assistant as soon as I have time to figure it out.

    Alexa (and Amazon) is f***ing invasive. I’m tired of it. Plus, I use it only for home assistant control and timers. I don’t need her to tell me jokes. 🙄

      My sentiment exactly… It sounds like I need to look more into locally controlled voice assistants as well, would love to hear your experience with it if you get to it anytime soon!

      I didn’t even know locally controlled voice assistants were a thing, I’d love to hear updates once you look into it!
