Mycroft seems to be the one that crops up.

We have an alexa thing that is really only used for voice controlling the lighting state in the living room - is there an alternative voice controller to use that is less morally reprehensible?
That is the question asked in the link above.
The answer seems to be "not really"... but of the choices you have, Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa, Google's OK Google... the ranking seems to be that Amazon is the worst in every way and wipes out privacy within the home even from family members (allowing a remote family member to listen in is abhorrent).
Siri and Apple Home stuff I don't really know about.
Google fear a privacy existential threat so aren't taking risks in this space, but they don't have the breadth of integrations either.
Least worst is either Apple or Google for the big places.
Most worst (by quite a margin) is Amazon Alexa.

Webthings formerly of Mozilla has a voice assistant by all accounts.
I use mine with rules and the webinterface so can't comment on its function.
