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.
There's already an open weights one mentioned up thread: <a href="https://laya.convaiinnovations.com/" rel="nofollow">https://laya.convaiinnovations.com/
