A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Oh that's interesting. Does Google Home work on an unconnected VLAN for lights? I use it for lights and kitchen timers. I don't see myself adding anything more complicated or invasive though.
I don't think Google home would work without an internet connection. I believe google devices and the google home app expect a connection to Google's servers.
I personally use homeassistant to control everything without an external internet connection and I know you can lock Philips Hue lights off from the internet and the official Hue app will still work.
