Just a heads-up, Home Assistant Voice Preview edition is pretty rough right now. It’s nowhere near good enough that I’d buy one for every room.
A lot of the issues are just software related, so there’s no reason it can’t get as good as a commercial device.
This guy explains it well: youtu.be/L4ONmyjG6ec?si=5NZOh4NFPQSZORmi
That being said, it’s neat, and I’m running both the tts and stt locally on my Home Assistant server! No Internet access at all, entirely local! It’s remarkable.
If you want to see what I mean, you can setup tts and stt on your Home Assistant without buying the hardware device and just talk to it with your phone and the app installed. You’ll see it’s kind of slow to respond and really gets hung up trying to parse the commands.
I don’t regret getting the hardware, it’s really neat, but I’m not going to rush to get any more at this time. I’ll wait a while for the software side to catch up.

I mean I hate that the steam controller is missing an entire thumb stick and a dpad, but I like the touchpad too. This just seems like an PS4 controller.
