Tired of your smart home failing during internet outages? Me too, so I made the switch to an offline smart home. Here's how you can too.

There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.

    Completely skipped the voice control which is the part I use the most.

    If and when I’ll make my home smart, I will try to use something offline for basic needs

      How is it not suitable for larger homes?

          There’s “larger homes” and then there’s “mansions”. No normal family needs more TVs than people…

              I’ve got zero smart home stuff, and have no intention of setting it up any time soon. I just don’t see the need. I’m just glad self-hosting stuff offline is getting easier.
