Can I use my current google speakers with homeAssistant? Can they still do the ‘grouped speakers’ things? Can I still ‘cast’ media?
Comment on Gemini for Home is Google’s biggest smart home play in years

You don’t need Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft involved at all if you don’t want to. In fact, with Matter it’s easier than ever to get away from Big Tech.

You do, however, need a degree in software engineering.

Former trucker here.
I’ve been using home assistant for a year. No degree in software engineering here
Stupidly simply to set up.

I used it for several years. It’s incredibly complicated to set up. After the 3rd or 4th time it offed itself randomly or some random update broke it, I gave up and put manual shit back everywhere. Giant waste of time and money. Please don’t send others to the same fate.

My comment is pure sarcasm but couldn’t be bothered to do the alternating bIg/SmAlL letters or the /s.

I figured as much but I thought I might still try to help anyone reading.
