  The number of appliances that have an app is fucking insane. I’m sorry, but I don’t need my oven to have internet connectivity. We got by just fine before.

    Right? Why does my microwave want WiFi access? How bout no?

    That is what I thought (and still do, for the most part), but being at the grocery store and starting the oven preheat is pretty nice.

      Would be super cool if privacy mattered to these companies.

  HomeAssistant for the win! Not everything needs to be connected but for those things I would like to control I want CONTROL. So only my server (not even the nubucasa servers) control it!

    Big difference between “smart home stuff” and stuff compatible with home assistant. You host home assistant yourself on your own hardware and everything is connected in one interface. You only need one app, or one webpage. No shady actors get access to your home, you control everything.

    I want/need to switch over from Google home to home assistant . So, how difficult would it be to migrate over? We mostly have smart plugs and a Google nest thermostat.

    Is a raspberry pi adequate for this, or do I need a mini pc?

  I read the last line that wrapped as "no internet connected" and thought, that's hard core, man.

  I have some smart home stuff, but if it needs the Internet to function, it’s not going into my house. And if any of it fails, the house reverts to its old, dumb self.

    This here. Home automation is cool, but only as long as it works locally with something like home assistant.
