That's always been my take on these things. I keep hoping that some security/NSA/privacy aware company will come up with some equivalents that we can trust to stay local. Then give us a controlling app to only open up certain actions to Internet.
This applies to the whole IoT, but doubly so for always-on voice gizmos. e.g. Go WAN when you say "Internet search flights ..." or "google ..." otherwise stay local.
I'd pay more for that. I'm almost ready to conclude IoT is not going to be for me.
- czottmann 10y agoThat is exactly the reason why I backed the ZOE. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/protonet-zoe-start-your-secure-smart-home-now#/ https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/protonet-zoe-start-your-s... Because an always-on Amazon device in my home would be creepy.
- anexprogrammer 10y agoThat looks really promising. If it hadn't closed just yesterday I could see myself backing that too. Definitely one to watch.
- dreamcompiler 10y agoAgree 100%. Good speaker-dependent voice recognition ought to be doable locally now. Training would be needed so it would be less plug-and-play than Echo, but that's a price I'd be willing to pay for privacy.
