I hope like hell that snips succeeds. This IoT stuff really needs to be open source. I don't want to fill my home with sensors that I don't control, and I'm technical enough to deploy some home brew stuff, but there's just not a whole lot out there as far as open source smart devices

edit: Can anyone name some other privacy respecting, non-cloud, open source platforms and devices to work with?

To somewhat answer my own question, snips has a pretty active community which should hopefully be a good entree into the ecosystem of privacy-friendly hardware projects (discord, twitter, and https://github.com/snipsco/awesome-snips#community-projects)
