    You got an open source alternative to Google home/Amazon Echo? I’d buy it.

      Home Assistant has voice controls, but I have t had a chance to use them. I’ve heard really good things tho, just waiting on real hardware vs making my own.

        Home assistant’s default, basic voice stuff is pretty bad. It works well if you either integrate proprietary models into it, or run your model own locally. The former is proprietary and the latter is rather expensive. Sure people will tell you you can run smaller models on basic hardware, but those are… not very capable or responsive. It takes some setting up either way.
