It&#39;s a platform that can be a little bit daunting to get started with, but once you get over the hump, it&#39;s astonishing how much it can do.  I&#39;m still coming up with all kinds of ideas for things I can integrate into it.  I&#39;m looking forward to having a &#34;smart&#34; chicken coop one day.&#xA;&#xA;I played around with adding Rhasspy to the system to bring in voice control, which I did manage to get working.  It&#39;s pretty cool to ask what the greenhouse temperature is and have it tell you.  That feature is still a far cry from user-friendly to set up, but the potential is there to have a completely self-hosted version of something a lot like Amazon&#39;s Alexa, integrated with smart home features and security cameras that don&#39;t spy on you.  </html></oembed>
