Home Assistant is a great alternative. It gets better and better as all Google and Alexa get worse and worse.

What are you using for microphones?

Why the downvotes? this is a legitimate good question as there are many available and people may have important experiences to share. Looking to set up my own someday (hopefully soon) and am interested in what has worked well for people as well.
