I agree! The pace things are moving has me very excited. I might need to brush the dust off my soldering iron so I can convert my 5+ nest speakers into something that is fully local and open source.
I’m surprised these things have been on the market for almost a decade now and nobody has really attempted or figured out how to crack them and put third party firmware on them.

Can’t wait until we have a device, that is as easy/affordable as picking up a new Alexa… that works with home assistant.
Once, that problem is solved in a way that doesn’t involve soldering and 3d printing… voice will really start to take off.
Willow looks like it’s a decent chunk of the way there, as soon as the hardware is more generally available.
Yup, that is the one missing piece.
I have been using the new piper/wyoming stuff, and it actually works extremely nicely. I am very impressed with it.

There is this but it’s replacing almost everything inside. https://hackaday.com/2023/07/23/google-nest-mini-gutted-and-rebuilt-to-run-custom-agents/ I am hoping they sell the boards but most likely won’t out of fear of Google lawyers.
I set it up last month. Local voice control is not quite there yet but it looks promising. Home Assistant’s cloud assistant works really well though.
Just needs wake words now and this could be a game changer. Really looking forward to see where this is going.
