That's what's driven me to write my own home automation code. (Though my code's terrible, not HN-worthy.) Anything that insists on a cloud API is out in my book. A local server is potentially worth serious money, especially if it's easy to use.

I've been toying with something similar (mostly on paper so far) involving custom GStreamer elements for voice recognition/synthesis, a Wit.ai-like intent resolver for command & control, and ChatScript-like pattern matching for conversational dialogue. My goal is to put it all behind a WebRTC and SIP gateway and have a low-latency personal assistant that I can access from virtually any device (even an old landline telephone) and that runs on my own private server. That's the dream anyway. I'm stuck on the voice synthesizer, at the moment...

I started at device control. Once I get device control where I want it on my home server, I'll expand out to being able to reach it elsewhere, and then voice.
