Apparently the CEO of OpenAI/ChatGPT is a hard-core prepper. Not concerning at all
Sonos is a bit spendy, so my solution is Home Assistant + Alexa media player + turning off the Echo mics + 3D-printed caps to hide the red light rings

Yup! There's a community integration you can install called Alexa Media Player. The easiest way to install it is by using HACS.

Alexa + MyQ = Announcements?
When you use https://www.home-assistant.io as your Home automation hub, you can integrate it with just about anything. For example, Alexa integration is via https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/alexa/ and having Alexa speak through automations is accomplished by using HomeAssistant Add-on https://github.com/custom-components/alexa_media_player and you can integrate myq hubs to it via https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/myq/ - Then via automations you setup you can have Alexa speak (announce) when doors are opened, closed, etc. for any state change. You can also use the Alexa integration to have Alexa voice routines invoke scenes which are tied to Home assistant scripts, etc.. to open, close garage doors and so much more. HomeAssistant is all about integrations, see https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/

I have a IQ Panel 2 with active monitoring from Alarm.com. Is there a way to make my Amazon Echo Dot via Alexa announce alerts instead of resigning to the lifeless voice that comes out of the IQ Panel
the ha hacs alexa media player integration provides alexa text-to-speech, works great.

Looking for a few products and ideas Lighting/Plugs mostly.
Tuya devices, and the Tuya-based Monster, Greeni, etc stuff can be connected to HA using the Tuya Integration, or converted to local-only using Tuya Cloudcutter and connected to HA using Local Tuya, or even flashed with Tasmota, ESPHome/Libre Tiny, or OpenBeken.
- Are there people that are interested in reverse engineering the Tuya Smart app?

My first tuya fail. How to distinct tuya only from normal devices?
It's still on my list of things to try so I don't have personal experience, but I think https://github.com/rospogrigio/localtuya can help you. Maybe start with reading the readme to see what limitations exist for Tuya devices.

Smart light bulbs
We got some cheap Tuya bulbs from Kogan. Unfortunately they were too new to flash with tuya-convert, but they can still be controlled locally through Home Assistant with localtuya.

Fed up with Tuya strip lights. Never works properly. Is there any other way to add them to homekit. Tuya homebridge plugins are not great.
There is the [Local Tuya](https://github.com/rospogrigio/localtuya) integration for Home Assistant. This will eliminate the cloud dependency of the Tuya devices you have. Once you have them in Home Assistant you can expose them to HomeKit just like HomeBridge does.

Alexa routines accessible in home assistant?
Don't the Treatlife devices just use the Tuya backend? If so, you can add them directly to HA using the cloud based official Tuya Integration, or the local-only Local Tuya via HACS.
