    ditch the homepod and don’t replace it with any other spyware, and replace the rest as needed.

        yeah, and if you want something that doesn’t spy on you your only real option is home assistant.

          Home assistant is great and apart from voice recognition, its infinitely more powerful than any corporate home automation product. Voice is tough to do locally and on low powered hardware, but its getting there.

            they have something that claims to be able to do it, I haven’t personally verified it, but generic on device voice recognition has gotten pretty decent.

      Family has gotten use to the HomePod being around, makes simple things like settings timers for cooking or other related task a bit easier.

      And yeah, I’m aware it’s spyware. I wanted a “smart-home” and essentially landed on Apple products.
