    Google Home is the biggest piece of shit I’ve ever had the displeasure to use.

    It used to work really well, and now it’s trash. I don’t know how they could fuck something up so badly.

      Home Assistant works well on a cheap(-ish) Raspberry Pi. They’re even working to get voice fully capable.

      It can be fully local and is FOSS, for those for whom that matters.

      I went with the BezosBoxHomeAsssssistant. … it sucks too. The challenge to my mind is that it’s hard to make any profit on these things, so it’s hard to spend the dev and server $$$ required to actually make the systems do what they should.
