Sorry for the wall of text but I need to type out what I have and see if it is possible to do in Home Assistant.
I am looking at Home Assistant but before I go down that road, I want to make sure I can at least
do what I can currently do with my current configuration using Alexa and Hubitat.
The news about the custom firmware on the echo dots/show has me excited.
I have a dedicated PC with linux that I currently use as my pihole (DNS blacklisting). But it is basically running on idle.
I would like to convert my Amazon Echo devices to be used by Home Assistant.
My current usage is probably small compared to what most people are doing. But I would like to break away from using Alexa
since it seems to be getting worse at hearing. I do not have to be stuck with Hubitat either.
I put the things I do now first, then listed the hardware under it.
Thank you for any input / suggestions that you have!
