House automation systems don't have/need to be connected to the internet, and don't need the involvement of amazon or google or whatever. It's more about programmable and/or centrally controllable lights, temperature (house, fridge, boiler), appliances, or even doors, shutters and pretty much anything that need electricity. Reaching it from the internet is more a feature and not a necessity (and again it doesn't need the involvement of multis, tho probably if one wants to use access through smartphones the odds are some of these multis will have some level access..., at least for data).
