Is there a #smarthome solution that doesn't require connecting to remote servers - at least when you're home, using the same wifi as your devices? You know, one that respects #privacy at least as an option?
@muiiio home assistant? Or some other self-hosted thing?
@lowpass @rubyowo Is it this thing? https://www.home-assistant.io/
@muiiio yep. Depends on what particular devices you have, of course. But you can run it on a raspberry pi (or whatever, since I think those are still hard to find) and get usb z-wave/ZigBee adapters
@lowpass So, as far as solutions go, this one is more a DIY thing that a complete suite... Still, better than nothing, right?
@mapto @lowpass Buying hardware for a service is hardly independence. It's just LESS dependence than the surveillance capitalist model everyone seems to have become so accustomed to.
