I made a game about this a couple years ago, which made it to front page of HN! https://smarthome.steviep.xyz

Decades ago who would’ve thought that a computer could fit in the palm of your hand.

The future of smart devices is a local LLM running on every single one.

What use cases do you envision that go beyond the usual simple triggers and conditionals?

I could see using an LLM to set up more complex home automation rules that I am too lazy to set up myself. But for what kind of situations is it useful to have an LLM run the device directly?

That's way too much RAM to make sense, you could centralized it and run all home devices

The amount of RAM sitting in my house unused today is enourmous compared to the amount of RAM I had available 30 years ago. My 10 year old laptop alone has 32G. That's 1000 times as much RAM as I had in my entire house in 1996, and 200,000 times as much as 1986.

Right, so why buy more to put on each peripheral device when its 20x the price and you already have so much

I will never need or want a local LLM running in my light bulbs.
