Review on Smart speaker Yandex Station 2 with Alice, black anthracite, 30W by Micha Bukowski (Pax) ᠌

What is missing in a smart home: 1) Physical devices! So there is not enough sane dimmer and driver for LED lamps. Now you can use dimmable Wi-fi lamps and Chinese zigbee dimmers. I would like a Zigbee (Matter) driver for dimmable LED lamps and a Zigbee dimmer. 2) Offline work with Zigbee devices, including scripts. So that a switch / dimmer without the Internet could control the light. At least physically (through the dimmer itself), it’s better also through the application, even better with your voice. Now Belarusian noolites are used for this, but they are objectively slow and sometimes slow down. 3) Scenarios! Bigger, Better, Harder! Add more conditions, the ability to branch the script depending on the state of smart home devices, Python scripts, etc. 4) Ability to connect two XiaoMI Home accounts with different regions. 5) Offensive non-support for third-party devices. It seems that integration with an LG ThinQ account is supported, but not all TVs can be controlled (WebOS 5.5+). At the same time, older TVs are perfectly controlled through Homekit or the ThinQ application itself. Most likely there is a different API, but hardly too complicated. 6) Offline voice control of smart home. Yes, it’s difficult (but you can also limit it to basic commands), but it works for Apple in English.
