Can you manage your house with a local, no-cloud voice assistant? Mostly, yes. (arstechnica.com)

Well, Ibought a few Google speakers back in the day for easy voice commands, mostly for lights and weather.

I unplugged them for privacy. Still use one in the garage for music, but it might as well be a Bluetooth speaker at this point.

And easy to hook up local home assistance would be ideal for me. I don't want to spend weeks of my time fussing with it. It's not a hobby to me, just convenience
