Can you manage your house with a local, no-cloud voice assistant? Mostly, yes. - eviltoast
If you're tired of Alexa and Google listening, local voice is a real thing now.

    My main use case for voice is for things that I haven’t been able to (reasonably) automate. For a couple of examples:

    1. Saying “turn on the TV” as I’m grabbing lunch and walking across the room
    2. “Turn on/off the stars” for bedroom mood lighting
    3. “Timer for x” is honestly probably the most used things.

    It’s all fairly trivial stuff to do manually but I think that’s probably true for the vast majority of home automation.

      Try “start Netflix on the TV”. Should work for most services. (At least it does with Chromecast and Home Assistant).
