Nope. I’ve got an old Surface that I’m using as my home dashboard. It’s ancient, but running Home Assistant as a full screen browser app works great. I’ve still got a bunch of Google Home Minis floating around the house but I’m trying to get off them as soon as possible. I’m trying to de-cloud my smart home as much as possible and get everything to local control. I’m following the “Year of the Voice” very closely as I’m hoping that will be my way out of Google’s ecosystem at last.
I’m slowly trying to do this too. What I haven’t found a replacement for is the simple “set a timer”/“remind me”/“add to shopping list” stuff that I use it for.
Have you found a good way to replace those style of commands yet?
No I haven’t. It’s those exactly that keeps me using my Google Homes. Well those and being able to cast music, but you can fix that easily with local solutions.
It appears that Home Assistant will be able to do those things in the near future. At least I hope so.
