“Fantastic little device, works an absolute charm and combined with Home Assistant, the potential is incredible. Already I have some fantastic automations set up such as walking into the bedroom and having this device announce to me that my favourite TV show is available and would I like it turned on. A simple yes will turn the TV on and navigate to that channel. The speaker is loud and configurable via a dial on the top, the LED wheel shows exactly what the device is up to, such as listening, processing etc. Highly recommended, i will probably be buying another!”
“I wanted to play music on a set of decent speakers using Music Assitant in Home Assistant. Works great I evern wrote a home assitant automation to pause the music when I leave the room. The voice control of home assistant stuff is a bonus that I probably won't use that much but some custom responses in the style of Marvin from The Hichhiker Guide would be fun.”
“Game changer, HA Voice Preview has enabled me to ditch Alexa. So many ways you can set this up either totally local via LLM or Google Generative AI. Easy to set up its foud as Intergration immediately. Top Tip connect external speakers via the aux port to have a great sounding voice assistant”
“been playing with this for a week , at first I got 2 for the living room and my bed room now it's upto 5 , kitchen , 2 bedrooms , living room and spare which I may mod .
Work well but it trigger on a lot of word after O.K .”
“Great device, works as announced. The built-in speaker is a bare minimum speak, but can be easily sorted with the audio-out jack. Good quality device.”
“This little thing is amazing! Yeah not perfect but it has so much potential and it can be customised in both hardware and software. I'm so excited to see what the community will bring us.
So far I've 3D printed another enclosure and paired the devices with a more powerful speaker, now sounds as good as my old defunct homepod mini.”
