What do you guys think of the idea of smart homes? I could make a basic setup using https://home-assistant.io to control my home temperature and lighting; the tools for doing this are everywhere nowadays and implementation doesn’t seem too horrific anymore.

But setting aside what I “can” do, is this something that I “should” do? How can a person implement this without connecting any devices to the internet?

    Yeah we went with google homes early on and from what I hear they aren’t nearly as annoying - but Google is already starting to hint at dropping support for earlier models. I’ll look into HomePod, if I did any new ones I’d use something self hosted. I bet at somepoint we’ll be able to flash them.
