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

I loved being able to control the dimmer level or color of the lights using voices controls.

I set up a few IFTTT recipes to create lighting and music scenes for things like reading, conversation, movie watching, date night, party time, and a few others and triggered them with a voice command.

It was always a hit with whoever I brought over, but mostly it just did 4 or 5 things with one voice command.
