Can you manage your house with a local, no-cloud voice assistant? Mostly, yes. (arstechnica.com)

I love voice control specifically for telling the house to warm up before I get out of bed. I don't even have to grab my phone. I also use it almost daily to have music start playing from spotify.

    I thought of doing that but now it is essentially my alarm clock. In a bit annoyed at maintaining separate alarms but:

    • heat comes up 15 minutes before
    • watch vibrates to wake me
    • speaker plays music from Spotify for half an hour
    • if I hear suddenly silence when the music stops it’s time to panic because I’m late
