    I’ve ordered gizmos that will work with Home Assistant to replace my minis. I’m working my way off Gmail…

    I’m seriously de-googling. Apartment uses a nest thermostat, but… I may be able to get that far.

    Matter devices help in many ways. De-clouding is one.

        I haven’t received these yet. They’re in significant demand and order times are long.

        When I ordered I was supposed to receive them about now. Now the order is pushed to June. According to those who have them, they work well enough. If I want, I can tie in an AI (cloud or local).

          Ok, ya I’ve seen those… I love the idea and am excited to see them become mature.

          I am, unfortunately tied to Google right now with our “whole house audio”. Using old Chromecast audios. When those are EOL it is going to create a real headache here.

          We use minis to initiate the CCAs by making their (minis) default speaker the CCA running through a centralized amp for that room (to ceiling speakers)

          It works quite well
