Finally disconnected my last Alexa device and put it away in a cupboard. Now have Voice PE devices in all the rooms where I use voice control.
I lose a little bit of convenience because Alexa understands me a bit better when the TV is playing, and Alexa could directly set my overhead fan speeds where HA voice control cannot. (But I have custom sentences for speeding up fans and slowing them down, so I still have voice control.) One of these days the intents will improve to the point where this difference disappears, I assume.
I lose a bit of granularity in the setting of light colours. HA/ChatGPT seems to be able to handle colour temperatures of white and primary and secondary colours, but gets stumped on colours like teal, mauve, apricot and fuchsia which Alexa handles quite well.
But I gain a lot of peace of mind in that Google and Amazon are no longer getting updates on what I do.
