Just wondering how everyone is controlling their smart home these days. Do you use Alexa, Google, Siri or something else?

I’ve persistently used Alexa - but only because I received a bunch Echo devices from a friend and it was easy to set up.
I’m planning to move to a locally controlled voice assistant as soon as I have time to figure it out.
Alexa (and Amazon) is f***ing invasive. I’m tired of it. Plus, I use it only for home assistant control and timers. I don’t need her to tell me jokes. 🙄

My sentiment exactly… It sounds like I need to look more into locally controlled voice assistants as well, would love to hear your experience with it if you get to it anytime soon!
I just use the Home Assistant app for everything, no voice control (other than setting timers and shopping lists).
But this year looks like a big one for voice control in Home Assistant, I’ll have to circle back to it once they’re further along:

Very excited for the Home Assistant voice project!
I have several Nest Mini’s around the house, so OK Google is ours
