I have been very happy with local stuff. I have home assistant running on a pi, independent of my main server (cause I wanna control the lights easily while changing server hardware).
All my smart devices (lamps, mostly) use Zigbee, and it's just way easier and more flexible than classical dimmers. There's local voice recognition support, but for that I'd probably run it on something with more horsepower than a raspi.
Yeah, I've been planning to set up a smart light switch in my kitchen and if/when I eventually get to that I'll be setting up a home assistant install on a little thin client and using ZigBee instead of a WiFi device directly connected to google home. That way I can start to play with automation in haos and start connecting all of my existing wifi devices through haos on my own hardware.
I'd like to transition everything to offline protocols running locally, its just kind of a project and takes money. A while back I was doing my research for it and I think I decided on hardware, but haven't gotten further than that, I just kinda have too many expenses and projects on my plate for the moment
I'm looking forward to all the tech stuff I depend on being actually my own in the future though :)
Yeah, totally understand that. Had an easy start cause I got a lot of Philips Hue stuff for free from a friend who got fed up with smart tech in general. He now has a Pixel with mostly blank Graphene and a Raspberry Pi as his only computing devices, lol.
I had a lot of fun programming click patterns for smart switches that are incomprehensible for anyone but me XD
Good luck with your transition~
Thanks, I appreciate it! Hope you have a lovey day! ☺️
