If you’re relying on Google for anything you’re a fool.
I’m still a little foolish but trying to wise up.
I've ordered gizmos that will work with Home Assistant to replace my minis. I'm working my way off Gmail...
I'm seriously de-googling. Apartment uses a nest thermostat, but... I may be able to get that far.
Matter devices help in many ways. De-clouding is one.
Which gizmos, do you have them? How well do they work?
I haven't received these yet. They're in significant demand and order times are long.
When I ordered I was supposed to receive them about now. Now the order is pushed to June. According to those who have them, they work well enough. If I want, I can tie in an AI (cloud or local).

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Ok, ya I've seen those... I love the idea and am excited to see them become mature.
I am, unfortunately tied to Google right now with our "whole house audio". Using old Chromecast audios. When those are EOL it is going to create a real headache here.
We use minis to initiate the CCAs by making their (minis) default speaker the CCA running through a centralized amp for that room (to ceiling speakers)
It works quite well
