I agree. It's a platform that can be a little bit daunting to get started with, but once you get over the hump, it's astonishing how much it can do. I'm still coming up with all kinds of ideas for things I can integrate into it. I'm looking forward to having a "smart" chicken coop one day.

I played around with adding Rhasspy to the system to bring in voice control, which I did manage to get working. It's pretty cool to ask what the greenhouse temperature is and have it tell you. That feature is still a far cry from user-friendly to set up, but the potential is there to have a completely self-hosted version of something a lot like Amazon's Alexa, integrated with smart home features and security cameras that don't spy on you.

I started having it alert me when via phone notifications and announcing on the google home assistant in the kitchen which incubator was out of tolerance and then announcing what the humidity and temperature are so we know what to remedy.

I'm looking forward to the HA voice stuff. The Alexa we have seems to be getting dumber and never understands what we are asking. And yes getting away from these spy devices the sooner the better. We use them 90% of the time to set a timer so if I can get that sorted that'll be a huge leap away from the amazon and google devices.
