So. I have a nice HA system setup at home, based on a VM with lots of sensors and offline control. All good.

It's getting to that time where I'm looking to simplify my Mother's apartment so that she can use voice to turn on the lights, TV, etc.

She's completely embedded in the Amazon / Alexa ecosystem...

As I've built up a non-cloud, offline self-hosted setup over the years, I've no idea where to start with a very simple, but obviously cloud-connected system for her to use Alexa.

What's the best way here? HA Green? Intel NUC?

I don't need any LLMs - she's got Alexa for that... so I think even a Pi would be fine.

Anyone recently done something similar?
