and people are doing this

and paying for the privilege too

I mentioned this in AI the other day and was told "lol gently caress off grandpa it's just because you don't understand the technology"

haven’t the Linux nerds built a speech recognizing assistant that you can host yourself yet
the internet is dumb and I don’t want to have to rely on it to set an egg timer

There's something called Home Assistant or something that's an open source one that can run solely off an internal network and doesn't shell out to Google or amazon.

I think it takes a lot of setup though.

sounds like a huge time sink for what will just be a pile of crap

Yep pretty much.

All of this stuff is basically just absolute minor quality of life poo poo for a huge cost.

based on some limited experience with stuff like crestron and amx, and also seeing people throw tons of iot crap in their houses, ive come to the conclusion that all existing home automation systems require tons of active maintenance to continue working it’s just the fancy expensive ones you pay an installer $$$ to fix it for you when it breaks

Pretty much

The cost either comes from selling your data to Google or Amazon for their AIO devices or paying beaucoup dollar for a self rolled one.
