With a bit of work homeassistant can be a quite good voice assistant.
You can either revive some old android device and use that, or get an ECHO M5 for ~13€ and hook that one up.
You can even run some local Ollama AI and use that for the voice assistant nowadays. It's quite useful and home assistant can be integrated into music / audiobooks aswell with something like Music Assistant 2.0
Yup, just need to get around to doing it...
One of these weekends I'll have the right ratio of time:motivation. Anyyyy weekend now...
I've been meaning to set up a voice assistant with Google's old AIY voice kit, and Mycroft for a long time now (so long, in fact, that at the time I started thinking about it those things hadn't been discontinued yet) and then trying to integrate that with Home Assistant. (See also: Picroft, Mycroft Home Assistant integration)
If I still wanted to use that voice kit hardware, what would be the best software to put on it these days?
