Wasn't really till seeing this home assistant demo they have (<a href="https://www.loom.com/share/18c4dbcf8db546dfb2d7f2ef018e78e4" rel="nofollow">https://www.loom.com/share/18c4dbcf8db546dfb2d7f2ef018e78e4) that the value really clicked for me.
This is very cool. However I don’t really want to bounce all my home automation commands to the cloud. I hope there will be an open weights approach one day. I’ve spent a lot of time setting up my local only home automation system, it would suck if it didn’t work during an internet outage, and also there are obvious privacy problems.
