Is the Echo trustworthy?

I'm sure there is some open source Alexa-like project out there somewhere. Voice controlled AI we can run on our own in-home servers and train ourselves, all data kept safe under our pillows. And if there is not such a thing, there should be.

There is. It has a silly name that I can't remember. Problem is, though, that the part we fear the most isn't the part covered by source licensing. That helps some, but not much.

That's the one.
The hardware and software is all open-source, but they don't specify about the backend servers that MyCroft reports back to. Unless Scott has read something that I haven't.

Well I went ahead and bought two Echo Dots. They are much smaller than they seem in the pictures, tiny little boxes.
If I do anything interesting with them, I'll share the skills I create!
I actually had one today, to see if Alexa will find a song if I sing it to her, lol

I ended up buying:
Echo Plus
Echo
Dot (2)Enjoying them so far.
@Dashrender has me concerned about ZigBee, though.

Why are you concerned? are you using it? If not, nothing to be concerned with.

I am using it. It is built in to the Echo.
@Dashrender can talk more about that...

He is also staying away from his name being paged.
Perhaps he is scart to discuss.
