  • Don’t switch to Alexa, despite the obvious privacy issues with Amazon, the whole interaction is painful. And the incessant “By the way, you can do this or buy on Amazon” and so on are cringe.

It also has many plugins to create intricate automations by creating dummy sensors to trigger things and so on. It’s really powerful.
