I just wished we could hack our Alexa devices so I could use them instead of buying new hardware.

The problem is these devices don’t have the hardware to process input locally — it’s all sent back to their respective clouds for processing.

I believe Siri on newer phones can do some processing entirely local, but it’s not the norm.

I'm ok with that. Home assistant Assist is exactly the same way and only sends data when it's activated by voice or a button.
