Agree. My old setup used the IFTTT Homeseer module with the IFTTT Wemo
modu=
le so to switch the light on from the Amazon Echo took anything from 5 to
1=
0 seconds to come on or go off.

After switching to using Node-red on a local Pi3 the device actually
switch=
es before the Echo even says OK back. The only cloud based connection is
th=
e Echo itself and it's actually pretty quick.

I agree with the =E2=80=9Ceverything-in-the-cloud=E2=80=9D sentiment=E2=80=

Understandable for *some* services.. Echo/Alexa has nothing like enough on

board processing power to do the voice recognition locally for example=E2=
=80=A6
But a simple bloody if-then-else rulebase for switching lights &
sockets??!=
!! =E2=80=93 no reason whatsoever for that not to be kept on-prem=E2=80=A6
