I don't use voice control since I'm against all cloud based services but am definitely interested and waiting for a good local option, paired with some decent devices that I can disseminate around the house.

I have been using ha for a very long time but am the opposite, haven't gone down the rabbit hole and have only half a dozen automations. With the exception of living room lights that come on 39 minutes before sunset, I don't control lights. I have absolutely no problem using a switch as I enter a room, and see no point overcomplicating things in trying to guess what should happen when someone enters a room.

Being able to look for a recipe, set a timer, choose a youtube video, a song or a playlist while I am kneading dough and my hands are caked? Id love voice control while I'm in the kitchen and can't touch a phone without having to clean wash and dry my hands
