Comment on People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads
Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 7 hours agoHome assistant is the way to go, all run locally on a homePC, I have ZigBee lights and switches automated
An example is my front deck lights turn on at sundown, at 10% brightness, at 11;00 pm they drop to 1%.
If motion is detected they brighten up for a bit.
On holidays they have appropriate RFB effects.
All of this is automated, none of it talks to the internet.

That’s awesome, but I don’t need it. :)

Oh, for sure, it’s just for fun
My entire design goal is making it invisible for my wife, so things just work. As an example, I took our doorbell, and made it smart… Not a smart doorbell, but I have an esphome between the doorbell and the chime, so I can turn the chime off, or I can have our phonea get notified.
