Yeah, but aside from voice control everything so far has sane fallback to manual things.
I can go adjust the heater manually, the light switches work, the stereo I can manually put on, the TV can fallback to the freeview digital signal.
So far, aside from voice control, there's nothing here that requires internet.
And so far, everything I've got is from a company that has made a huge bet on it and isn't a startup that will vanish overnight.
I'm still an engineer enough to not think this shit will all break.

Let me know when you can't get into your house because your firmware is updating. :)
I prefer to burn the extra 4 calories a day to get up and use light switches and there's no fucking way I'm letting microphones into my house.

Disappointingly, I discovered my heating needs an internet connection to work properly.
It has local failover, but only as a dumb system.
Ideally, I'd like it to run on a local controller, but my guess is that would take hacking way beyond my means.
