Amazon have announced they plan to charge a subscription for Alexa, this is yet another reminder that we need to be moving away from the cloud, and Broadlink have a whole bunch of stuff that is entirely local, it's private, it's mesh capable and it's super cheap.

This video is sponsored by Broadlink, all opinions are my own

With Mesh, no signup, and entirely local products this could well be the best smart home gadgets of 2024
