I totally want all this home automation. My assistant should dimm the light when appropriate even without me saying so but of course without any of the data going off premise.

there are some open source alternatives to some of this. at least for things to act as a "home hub." so you could hook up your wifi lightbulbs or something to it and handle the automation there instead.

Key is that you have to have a wifi without internet to make sure the microphones don't phone home. I bought some cams and they all want me to set them up with the convenient Android app :(
