1Home Bridge for Loxone voice control via Google Home (or Alexa, Apple Home...)

[IanR]

Is anyone using, or has looked into, 1Home for Loxone integration?

The price put me off previously, but they've got a new bridge coming out and are offering pre-orders at a better price.

 

I'm probably going to give it a go, but one graphic has me a little concerned:

 

 

The "via Cloud" comment for Google Home integration. I can't find what that relates to. It doesn't look like it's a subscription, but still concerning if it could be switched off in a couple of years. Maybe it's just that it uses Google speech to text cloud service for interpreting commands.

@IanR did you ever buy this? 

[IanR]

I didn't. Dithered too long and the introductory price went away. Not sure it represents good value now.

[Kelvin]

I came to the same conclusion.

I have one, hopefully will be connecting it up soon.

Be interested to hear what you think. It looks a bit too beta for me at the moment. I have a number of legacy HA devices from a previous house install that this would allow me to use.
