    Why would I pay for a spying machine? Good thing Home Assistant is steadily getting a full clone of homes and echos.

      I’m waiting for a cheap ESP implementation of a device with wake words, then I should be able to move the remainder of my crap over to HA from other assistants for day to day automation.

        HomeAssistant supports ESP with wake word now. Requires some CPU on the server, but works pretty good.

          I saw some of the smaller push button devices a few months ago, but haven’t seen anything with wake word. I guess that’s something to dig into this weekend. Thanks!
