Three models available. Not sure what I want. (Warning: strong language in some. Thought you guys could use a laugh)
That's what they want you to thinkI have Alexa on my Amazon Fire Stick. I like that it only listens while I hold the mic button on the remote.
It’s getting to the point a guy’s going to have to leave his phone in his shed. No tv. No computers.
I’m of the opinion vpn’s are an illusion. Maybe at some point citizens had the ability to keep their privacy. It’s a better practice to converse with people away from devices and be careful what’s posted online and in text.I'm seriously considering that. TV? I'm not overly concerned with anyone knowing what I watch. Computer - VPN.
Listen to your brother, Grasshopper.I have 3 device's and live in a "smart house", I can control a lot of stuff from my recliner. Turn lights on and off, turn on TV and Dish, see my front door or the front of my house. Turn on Christmas tree along with accent lights. Turn on a/c or heat, adjust the temperature. People say she is listening and she is but I like my gadget's. My brother says "why, you're retired and have plenty of time, get up".
It's more than what you watch:TV? I'm not overly concerned with anyone knowing what I watch.
I don't do voice control, but I have a 'smart house' too. I keep it local though. All my devices that I can inspect the source (Home Assistant, ESPHome, AqualinkD) are allowed on the LAN. Anything else (ecobee thermostats, HomeQ, Ring, UniFi controller, August) are untrusted and segregated on their own VLAN. Only allowed access is to known API services. With a mix of hard wired, WiFi and Z-Wave devices, pretty much everything is automated. Motion and occupancy sensing, door and window sensors, environmental sensors, and various APIs provide all the info the system needs. Lights follow you when you walk in and out of certain rooms, exterior lighting follows sunrise and sunset, media room lighting follows occupancy and media player status, HVAC adjusts to occupancy and weather conditions, pool automation does its thing, doors lock themselves, etc.I have 3 device's and live in a "smart house", I can control a lot of stuff from my recliner.
