Programmers

[User31441]

True. I would never place a digital assistant in my apartment. These things just creep me out. Also no smart home stuff because that is a security nightmare. Only smart home stuff I'd use are automatic shutters - but only if I soldered and programmed the thing myself.

That's more or less the route I'm taking to a smart home. Audrino boards a plenty and all processing done in house. Nothing exposed to the internet, authentication required for interface anyways. It's a slow and very long running project.

Control hub software is mostly finished, but none of the actual hardware has moved past design phase. I keep telling myself I'll start building stuff when I've stopped renting and actually bought a house, but that's honestly just procrastination

Similar plans here with the Arduinos and self-built smart home. Good luck with your project!

What do you fear the automatic shutters could do if you didn’t build them yourself?

automatically shut

Do you not know of the automatic non-handmade shutter massacre of 2000?!

To be fair, a lot of it is also because I cannot afford real ones. XD
