    Nah, I use Siri daily for simple tasks. Turning on lights, setting timers, adding things to my groceries list. She’s simple, but perfectly fine for simple tasks.

    Please leave her the fuck alone :’)

        For most people, if they want any kind of home automation then they’d have to trust someone, as most people won’t be able to deploy and maintain their own system. So now you have 2 options (other than just not automating your home)

        • Trust a company you already have to trust (since they provide the OS and hardware for your computer, phone, tablet, watch, etc.)
        • Trust an additional company

        So would you rather bet on 1 company not being evil, or 2 companies not being evil?

        I use Shortcuts to bridge Siri to my Home Assistant setup. Apple doesn’t control my house.
