Asking another dumb question and relating it to my other dumb question about Apple HomeKit/HomePods. Don't HomePods in essence do this if you're controlling smart devices within your wifi?
Doesn't HomeKit/HomePod's stay within your wifi for home automation and only go "outside" if you ask it about the weather or whatever else that's an internet based query?
Or do I have that incorrect?
If that's true, there's a serious benefit for the security minded folks into joining HomeKit/HomePod, albeit Apple and super pricey.

i thought all voice-controlled devices connected to the cloud to interpret what you just said because they lack the processing power to do it in a $20 dot.

i do not know what apple stuff does. I can say it is probably isnt much. And im not positive but i doubt home kit can control a generic wifi bulb. If it can that bulb is definitely talking to its home server in the middle.
most of these bulbs/devices use the generic esp 8266 wifi chip. So programs like tasmota gets you to flash a new firmware on these chips to where it "calls home" but you are the home.

quote:yea from what i understand all google homes, alexas and whatever call to goole/amazon. what we are talking about is the bulb. so say you have this sylvania zigbee bulb connected to your smartthings. You tell your google home to turn on the bulb. the Google home sends google the voice, they interpret it and tells your smart things hub, becuase they are linked, to turn on the light. Well your smarththings hub connect to Sylvainas servers, because they are linked, to turn on the bulb. They send a signal to your home over internet when turnes the bulb on.
