Hello.
I'd like to ask if anyone more knowledgeable about Smart Home can recommend any Smart Home hardware manufacturer that meets my requirements.
I would like to have my own voice assistant at home, but I value my privacy and don't want all the conversations in the house to be overheard by Alexa, Siri or whatever. That's why I was thinking of setting up my own LLM locally. Then I would teach this LLM to operate my home and this is where the main requirement comes in.
The api supporting the Smart Home of the respective manufacturer must be open, because the assistant must know how to use it. As I am a web application developer, the easiest way for me to imagine this is that there is a rest api and with it I can send a request with the activation of relay no. 1 or no. 2 etc. Then I create documentation in which I describe that relay No. 1 is the lighting in the kitchen, No. 2 is in the dining room and so on. I give this documentation for the LLM to learn and then I say, for example, "please turn on the light in the kitchen" or "it's dawn in the kitchen" or "let's make it bright in the kitchen" the LLM will know that it has to send an http request with a parameter regarding relay no. 1.
The second requirement is that the manufacturer's software should work locally/offline (privacy).
The third is it would be nice if it was reasonably simple to connect/configure/program. I don't want it to be too complicated, e.g. many different manufacturers, protocols etc. I always assume that the more complicated a system is, the more things can go wrong. A simple statistic, so I prefer simplicity.
Fourthly, I opt for cable - I am in the process of building a house. A wireless system is a last resort if I forget something and can't do something on cable.
Thanks in advance for any hints, suggestions.
AI: What specific Smart Home devices or components would you like to control (e.g. lighting, blinds, sockets, sensors, heating, etc.)? .
lighting, blinds, sensors, maybe heating
AI: Roughly what budget do you envisage for implementing such a system (are you more interested in DIY/open-source solutions, or can you also consider more expensive, professional systems)?
more cheap than expensive
