Voice activation isn’t smart, it’s lazy. Having lights come on based on presence detection etc, is smart. The problem is, today’s consumer market seems to be dominated by Alexa, the dumb bint :p From reading the link in the opening post, it seems the theory behind Iris was ok, but ... the problem is, there’s still a lot of back end logic required at this moment in time. No system is pick up and plug and play I’m forever tweaking my OpenHAB config. And that right there is the problem, I can count on one hand how many of my friends would tolerate/have the patience to run an OpenHAB system or similar. Yet every many and his dog could program Alexa to switch a light on.
