So, after [personal profile] seperis talked about Home Assistant's dedicated, installed device and about how good Home Assistant had been as a smart home hub, I was convinced by others in my household to buy one and see what I can do with it. I like the open source part, I really love the local control option, and there's good compatibility with devices, at least up to this point. (I would like the community Sengled integration to Just Work with the hub without requiring the username and password for the app, but it doesn't seem like that's an option, and if I really want to go that route, I can purchase a zigbee dongle and use a different community integration to get the dongle to be the hub instead.)

Explanations, methods, and how to teach your Home Assistant / Rhasspy setup to recognize when it's being sworn at and to apologize for it. )

Adventures in home automation continue! Have already done a lot to automate and use voice to call forth things. There's more in my future, likely learning how to build integrations of my own, because eventually I would like to be able to catch the data from intents and manipulate them to my liking, and I haven't figured out how to do that with the intent scripts, if it is even possible to do so that way.
