Best way to add voice control to Eisy (NOT ALEXA)

Featured Replies

I started many years ago with an ISY and upgraded the system a few years ago to an Eisy. These primarily control Insteon devices but have grown over the years to include a few Hue devices, some Yolink. It has all worked pretty well. Except integration of voice control with Aleza.

While I have been able to make Alexa voice control work, it is inconsistent. Alexa loses the connection. Worst of all, Alexa, hands down, has the most frustrating and unintuitive interface I have ever experience. They should be ashamed to produce it.

I am looking for a good approach to create some simple voice controls that will work with the Eisy. Basically, I am controlling some office and bedroom lights. All are Insteon based and work within the UD interface. Two of the bedroom lamps are Phillips Hue bulbs. I have the Hue add-in for Eisy but that has also stopped working. I can control the Hue lights directly with the Hue App.

I'm wondering which way to go, of give up. Apple Homekit with hub? Home Assistant? Or something else. Whatever it is, the interface needs to be user friendly. I am more than happy to spend a few bucks to throw the Alexa product in the trash.,

Any Suggestions?
