> at this point no one in my technical circle has proprietary "smart" home automation devices anymore

What are they using now, if you don't mind me asking?

Home Assistant almost goes without saying at this point.

Does it? I walk in tech circles, and actively work for a startup, and I don't think a single person in my circle of friends/coworkers has a Home Assistant setup, and _most_ have either an Alexa or a Google Assistant of some form.

Sure, but you didn't tell me that "no one in my technical circle has proprietary "smart" home automation devices". ;)

Home Assistant for home automation, Mycroft for voice control.

As others said - nothing (my preference), Mycroft, or Apple's Home Assistant (yes, propietary)

Thanks. I do however think that people are referring to home-assistant.io, not Apple Home Assistant.

Probably nothing.
