Can you manage your house with a local, no-cloud voice assistant? Mostly, yes. (arstechnica.com)

The majority of people do not have perfect whole house motion sensors setup to turn on and off lights. Congrats, you're the 0.0001%.

Not everyone even wants lights to turn on just because the room is occupied.

Maybe when the sensor can locally detect that im eating in front of the TV so turn on the main lights, and when I put the plate down its time to turn those off and use the dimmer ambient lights
