Google Home is the biggest piece of shit I’ve ever had the displeasure to use.

It used to work really well, and now it’s trash. I don’t know how they could fuck something up so badly.

Home Assistant works well on a cheap(-ish) Raspberry Pi. They’re even working to get voice fully capable.

It can be fully local and is FOSS, for those for whom that matters.

If you’re using HA then there is an open source alternative to Alexa! https://heywillow.io/components/willow-inference-server/

I went with the BezosBoxHomeAsssssistant. … it sucks too. The challenge to my mind is that it’s hard to make any profit on these things, so it’s hard to spend the dev and server $$$ required to actually make the systems do what they should.
