“Hardware-wise it’s a bit meh - whilst it has all of the ‘essential’ features it does feel like they skimped out on a few things (e.g. a light sensor for room brightness or a better in-built speaker). The software is improving fast (it is a ‘preview’ after all), and Nabu Casa are very good at keeping everything working and writing good documentation. Very useful piece of kit for development although I think some better hardware will be needed in the future to make it truly great.”
“I coudn't be happier with the Home Assistact Voice PE and the lastest update from Home Assistant makes it even better with conversational dialogue.
I'm already planning on buying more of these in the future.”
“Not overely impressed, just trying to get it to respond to basic wake phrase ' okay Nabu' takes several attempts to get a response never mind getting it actually turn a light on or off.”
“This product is great, but should be available from more places than The Pi Hut.
The Pi Hut are an unfriendly, customer hostile company who have proven a complete lack of understanding at every step of the process. I would recommend that Nabu Casa cease doing business with this company.”
“It’s great to have a more intelligent response than the alternatives. However it took me half a day to set up due to a couple of complications. It’s also quite quiet. Generally I like it and would recommend.”
“Could not wait to get my hands on the Home Assistance Voice Preview, I am a Home assistant user for over 4 years and a home automation maniac... While the HA Voice is not google level yet, it will get there due to the strong community behind it. I love the fact that I can control the ring light, I use it to light it to red when front door is not unlocked and light blue when my EV is charging at night..
It was dificult to get the HA Voice in Ireland and PI hut was my best alternative.”
