So you want to hook up a local language model to your smart home, that's a pretty cool project. I'd say the easiest way to do it is to use an open-source platform like MyCroft or OpenHAB, they have pretty good documentation and a community that can help you out. You can run the language model on a local device like a Raspberry Pi or an old computer, and then use the platform to integrate it with your smart home devices. It might take some tinkering, but it's definitely doable, and you'll have a lot of control over how it works and what features you can add.

In order to build an AI assistant yourself, one needs to decide on what the assistant will be built for—the tasks it will accomplish. You should utilize NLP platforms such as Rasa, OpenAI API, or Microsoft Bot Framework. Train the bot with appropriate datasets, write scripts, implement APIs for features such as weather check and alarms.

hey, if you're looking for easiest, a lot of people go with home assistant. they have a ton of integrations and there are a few ways to get local llms working with it, like through custom components or just api calls if you're running something like ollama on a separate box. seems like the most flexible route without totally building from scratch imo.
