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.
Are there difference between this and a 13$ M5 Atom Echo?
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 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
