  I cant even believe people buy those Alexa listening devices into their homes… Why are they trusting big tech?

    To be fair, they're quite convenient. I had one when I was living with my parents.

    That said, they're not so convenient that I died when I stopped using them after moving out. The only thing I miss now is having a device to cast Spotify to. I wish they made a House Thing.

      Nothing a normal wireless speaker won’t do ( the spotify part not the spying on you part )

        I have a friend who uses Home Assistant for everything, with a huge devops lab at home connected to various sensors. Seemed very professional.

      The Home Assistant community is working to build the local assistant which includes audio output. You can then play music from Music Assistant which allows connection to other streaming platforms.

        That would be perfect! Is the project called Home Assistant?

      There are AirPlay and Chromecast devices you can get that will do that part. I have castable speakers in every room and not one of them also has a microphone or requires an app.

        Do they connect to the internet as well so that they can be independent speakers that your Spotify account can cast to?

  You either die a start up or live long enough to see yourself become Google.
