Because of googles enshitification I have stopped using voice to control my home entirely. I invested in many scene remotes and built extensive automations. I’ve come to not miss voice control at all. But here’s to you that want this either for assistive needs or just because. I just need to get a few more local TTS speakers for alerts.
Man, I hope someone designs a dock for this with a better speaker for music!!!
Is the whole stack open source or do we have to buy their hardware or license their software?
Their device does look very slick, but I’d like to hack my own system together!
No POE = Deal breaker for me
Although it’s a very promising start. Looks great.
What’s POE, precious?
Power over Ethernet
Deploy ‘em, mesh ‘em, stick ‘em in your room
PO-E-yo?
It doesn’t even have Ethernet, how could it have poe? Also poe is just stupidly expensive for what it is.
Exactly. No Ethernet + no POE. That’s my point. WiFi only is a big no-no for me.
Ahh I see, I was thinking you already had POE ran somewhere and didn’t have other power options there.
I wish I could repurpose my Home Minis to use this. Google butchered those entirely over time, so now they’re practically collecting dust, when I dont use them as an occasional room speaker
I feel the same but in 2026 and with echo flex.
Somebody else linked this mobo replacement for the home minis, haven’t looked very closely at it yet myself: https://github.com/justLV/onju-voice
Are there difference between this and a 13$ M5 Atom Echo?
I’m so excited for this! I was able to make an order. Homeassistant is making such a difference here. I was a Mycroft supporter and it’s so great that since they’ve gone away we’ve still got hardware in this space. This hardware makes so much sense too, I hope the voice train keeps rolling!
I followed mycroft for years. It was a bit of a mess. I was sad to see it kinda die.
Same here :(
holds hat to chest Rest in peace good Mycroft
I love that the wakeword is still one of the best we have, my kid will ask me one day why we say “hey Mycroft” and I’ll tell him “it all started with a raspberry pi and a Kickstarter”

I look forward to getting my hands on one of these! Just need to work out where to put it in the house first.
And possibly waiting for a POE version. But that’s a nit-pick.
Is it possible to test this out using a phone or PC? I really like the idea of local voice assist.
Mod Magic.
Why the flying fuck does everyone seem to use voice assistants and AI bullshit. I don’t need to waste five seconds to get a bullshit response and to repeat myself when I don’t get the wrong answer or to switch the light in the room next to me when I can make ten steps
People with disabilities would like a word with you.
