I am new to Eero and Zigbee so I would like to get the sentiment on what people think about privacy when it comes to setting up your Smart home devices that support Zigbee protocol with Eero given the fact that you need to link it to Echo for Voice controlling.

I know running your own smart hub with a rasp pi and zigbee Gateway keeps things in your local network but does using Eero expose it to Amazon cloud? Using Echo does sound like it will but any other alternative?
