Which Home Automation (Alexa, Google Home, Xiaomi, etc) you use or plan to use?

I have fragmented smart devices, like smart curtain xiaomi china, xiaomi cctv global version, google home nest hub...

So difficult to integrate all under 1 roof.

also Alexa now using LLM, a lot smarter than google home. Xiaomi Xiao-Ai also using LLM soon.

What do you use?

Wont have that problem if you upgrade everything to the best of the bunch i.e. Apple

The best Home Automation is foreign maid.

Apple TV je

ifttt

for advanced user
and complex automation

Matter

Just use Google home

Becauae Malaysia only got Google home

Xiaomi also use Google home

Your Xiaomi stuff are China market. Stupid to buy Xiaomi

You need to change all your automation to Tuya because Tuya is the biggest automation and Tuya link to Google Home

A lot of devices can now connect to Siri, Alexa or Google Assistant. But Google Home has the advantage of a script editor now. Haven't tried it personally but seems nice.

Use home assistant to integrate all.

I already tried

Only accessible in browser


I coded it to play music at certain time

Tuya also support ifttt

Can I automate nuke launch when I gg?

Very hard
Need to hack Tuya and Sonoff firmware

But that will be ultimate goal

I already install home assistant in my Synology

Will localize server all my automation in 10 years time

No need to change firmware.
Sonoff has local integration and tuya has cloud integration

Only new stuff

I already bought Sonoff bridge to ready home assistant local integration but give up and buy everything Tuya

We are not ready yet

Waste money bought Sonoff

Ultimate goal is local ya

Cloud very buggy

Wasted my money

Need to install another app just for Sonoff

I think just buy Tuya and forget everything first

I use smart, true intelligence home DIY, cheap and low maintenance, zero intrusion, reliable and owner friendly ; )

what you guys use for automation?

curtain? switches? lights?
