If I want something simple that either passes power through or triggers a switch in response to a configurable/trainable voice command that isn’t net connected, what’s my best bet?

How would that help? It appears to provide a subset of Home Assistant's functionality.

I thought it provides simple alternative (as asked) with voice commands. But when reading the details the voice processing is not offline (as asked).

---

Note that in the 0.8 gateway release, browser-based voice commands are processed using Google’s voice assistant API, so the audio strings are processed in the cloud. The speech-to-text result is passed back to your gateway. If you instead type a command into the text field of the smart assistant screen, those commands are processed locally and do not require a connection to the Internet.

EDIT: But hopefully they will move to something like offline Common Voice in some future release.

Home Assistant's Almond/Ada integration does the same thing (without sending anything to Google)

Mycroft?

I want to switch over to Mycroft, does anyone here have a good experience with it? What kind of hardware are you running?

I run it on a pi, but it is definitely not ready for primetime yet unless you want to write your own add-ons. But if you just need it to do one or two things it's pretty great at voice/intent recognition.
