“It's a preview edition so there is still a lot to work on. Noise cancellation and focusing on specific voices is needed with background noise (my house is rarely quiet). That said, works great when set up well.”
“With the latest Home Assistant releases and this device we are making huge strides towards a voice assistant which will challenge Alexa. It works perfectly in a room where there is minimum extraneous conversation or talking going on. It struggles to know when you have stopped speaking when there is extraneous conversation such as a television.
Nonetheless it is called a preview edition for a reason and as a purchase for my hobby/project I have found it fault free, easy to use and set up and I would highly recommend it.”
“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.”
