In a press release, the foundation stated its aim is “to fight against surveillance capitalism, and offer a counterbalance to Big Tech influence, in the smart home — by focusing on privacy, choice, and sustainability for smart home users.”
Happily spending money on my monthly subscription. ✊
And working to make voice and AI something we can all have… locally. I’m just a humble apartment dweller, but HA is embedded in a lot of our home.
Wouldn’t care to have it any other way.
I pay annually and consider this the most valuable subscription we have for the family.
I’m not into home automation, but if I was, I’d much prefer a locally running solution that didn’t involve tech giants. I hope this works out.
I didn’t think I was. I got sucked in by sensors to monitor indoor temp, humidity, air quality… A smart switch to turn lights on and off when I’m not home. Now I’m thinking of how to turn the HVAC fan off when IAQ is good and temperature is comfortable. I’m not ready to have the house turn lights on when I enter a room or start the oven when I get within a mile of the end of my commute, but it’s been growing, one $30 gadget at a time with no subscriptions and no data leaving my LAN.
HA is an absolute treasure.
Agreed. It runs my house and has been almost flawless for a very long time.
