  • I think your understanding of what “AI” is fundamentally flawed if you are asking this question.

    The easiest and safest intro to understanding how models work is first to understand that they are not making decisions, they are sorting through data. It’s a very fast parallelization of sorting. There is no version of any model that has a concept of a novel idea.

    Next steps from there are understanding what it can provide you, and that is only data it has been trained on and programmed to make relations between. If you get deep down into the lingo, it will referred to as an “alignment” or “relation”.

    Example: “A” is a letter. “B” is a letter. They are both letters in the English alphabet. They are not letters of the Cyrillic alphabet. English speaking people will use A and B to write or speak. English is used by these countries…etc

    That’s all it can give you.

    If you go and ask it how to build a Linux distribution, it will tell you all the relations it knows about those keywords, but can’t go and generate new and novel “thoughts” about it. In more practical situations, it can only give you information about a single point of reference at a time, and a Linux distribution is thousands.




  • This is the correct answer. HA itself will work completely offline if you want. After that, you just need to make sure about the devices you’re buying, and keep in mind, YOU control your own networking.

    • Zigbee will be all offline
    • Z-Wave…there was some greyish room there, but should be similar to Zigbee aside from firmware updates from certain makers
    • Matter CAN be totally offline
    • Tuya and similarly branded products: there are offline hacks, but I’d avoid.
    • WiFi/Bluetooth branded: avoid because they always require an app to even setup

    Now, as I mentioned, you do control your network, and there are complex ways around these things, but if you want an OTG guarantee, go Zigbee to be sure.
