Local-Only Voice Assistants: Privacy-Focused Smart Home Control
At smarth, we believe you shouldn’t have to trade privacy for convenience. Our local-only voice assistant runs entirely within your home—no cloud processing, no data collection, and no third-party servers listening in.
Complete Privacy, No Internet Required
Unlike voice assistants from Google or Amazon, our system processes all commands locally. This means:
✔ No recordings sent to external servers
✔ Faster response times for home automation
✔ Full control over your data
What Can It Do?
Our voice assistant can integrate with your smart home system to provide:
-
Hands-free control of lights, locks, and appliances
-
Custom automations like adjusting climate settings based on voice commands
-
Status updates on sensors, cameras, and security systems
-
Basic general knowledge responses (limited compared to cloud-based assistants)
A Powerful, Local AI
This system runs on a locally hosted large language model (LLM). Because everything is processed within your home, it requires powerful hardware to operate effectively. While not as polished or versatile as commercial cloud-based assistants, it ensures your voice stays private.
We’re continuously improving this technology, but it’s important to know:
⚠ This is still a beta product. Expect occasional quirks and limitations.
⚠ Requires a high-performance local server to function smoothly.
⚠ Not as conversationally advanced as Google Assistant or Alexa.
