There are multiple Amazon Alexa-enabled devices in my home and they’re quite useful, however, having set a timer on one device, querying another for the remaining time informs me: No timer is set
— annoying.
John Gruber’s review of the new Apple HomePod:
HomePod does exactly what Apple says it does, doesn’t do anything more than what Apple says it does, and costs $349. There.
Home Assistant is an open-source home automation platform running on Python 3. Track and control all devices at home and automate control. Perfect to run on a Raspberry Pi.
I’d like to give this a whirl.
