IoT smart home devices can open you up to many security risks and exploits. It is really important that you configure them correctly, setting strong unique passwords, turn off data sharing, and if possible restrict internet access so devices can only communicate within your local network. See [Smart Home Security Checklist](https://github.com/Lissy93/personal-security-checklist#smart-home) for more tips
## AI Voice Assistants
Google Assistant, Alexa and Siri don't have the best [reputation](https://srlabs.de/bites/smart-spies) when it comses to protecting consumers privacy, there have been [many recent breached](https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/21/20924886/alexa-google-home-security-vulnerability-srlabs-phishing-eavesdropping). For that reason it is recommended not to have these devices in your house. The following are open source AI voice assistants, that aim to provide a human voice interface while also protecting your privacy and security
| Provider | Description |
| --- | --- |
**[Mycroft](https://mycroft.ai)** | An open source privacy-respecting AI platform, that runs on many platforms (Raspberry Pi, desktop, or dedicated Mycroft device). It is in active development, with thorough documentation and a broad range of available skills, but also Mycroft makes it really easy to develop new skills
**[Kalliope](https://kalliope-project.github.io)** | An open source, modular always-on voice controlled personal assistant designed for home automation. It runs well on Raspberry Pi, Debian or Ubuntu and is easy to program with simple YAML-based skills, but does not have a wide library of pre-built add-ons
#### Notable Mentions
For a desktop-based assistant, see [Dragonfire](https://github.com/DragonComputer/Dragonfire) for Ubunto, and [Jarvis](https://github.com/sukeesh/Jarvis) for MacOS. [LinTO](https://linto.ai), [Jovo](https://www.jovo.tech) and [Snips](https://snips.ai) are private-by-design voice assistant frameworks that can be built on by developers, or used by enterprises. [Jasper](https://jasperproject.github.io), [Stephanie](https://github.com/SlapBot/stephanie-va) and [Hey Athena](https://github.com/rcbyron/hey-athena-client) are Python-based voice assistant, but neither is under active development anymore. See also [OpenAssistant](https://openassistant.org).
#### Word of Warning
If you are building your own assistant, you may want to consider a hardware-switch for disabling the microphone. Keep tabs on issues and check the code, to ensure you are happy with how it works, from a privacy perspective
