Amazon (AMZN.O) is planning a major revamp of its decade-old money-losing Alexa service to include a conversational generative AI with two tiers of service and has considered a monthly fee of around $5 to access the superior version, according to people with direct knowledge of the company’s plans.
Home Assistant will always be free.
Any recommendations for a voice tool? It felt like I would need to setup a room microphone on my orange pi when I was reading the docs.
I haven’t done it myself but it looks like you’ll need some esphome devices like a speaker and a microphone
It doesn’t help you if you need something right now, but Home Assistant is looking into building / engineering their own voice satellite device

That’s good, because it’s dog shit.
The models? The interface? Spinning your own? Home Assistant in general? What the fuck are you on about?

I’m still getting my feet wet with HAOS. Mainly got it for frigate but I’ve been trying to do more and more with it every week and I think I’m way over my head lol. It seems really cool if you know how to make everything work but I’m still trying to figure out so much I end up having to walk away and come back to it later after getting confused. It’s helped a bit to start writing out what I’m trying to do on paper and tinker with things while keeping notes.
Do you have a hook up on some free dog shit?!
Download the Alexa app and have at it.
Is it able to use a LLM?
Yeah, you can plug it into a few external services like OpenAI or even use a local LLM like LocalAI. Not used either, but I know it’s possible.
