I keep seeing different integrations for things like Google Assistant, Alexa, and others, and it’s got me wondering. Doesn’t use of these systems kind of defeat the purpose of an open source privately designed platform? Why not just use their ecosystem? I don’t ask this to be provocative. I decided to look at Home Assistant and/or OpenHAB because I didn’t want Google, Amazon, or Apple spying on my life (it’s a pretty boring life, but it’s one I’d like to keep private).
Why are people integrating these systems into their Home Assistant design? Is there a way to use the positives of these systems (voice control being the only one I can think of) without compromising the privacy of a purpose-built system?
Just wonderin’ out loud.
