The open source, privacy-focused voice assistant, built to work with Home Assistant

Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition is the open source, privacy-focused voice assistant built to seamlessly connect with Home Assistant, and preview the future of voice today. Its advanced audio processor and dual microphones allow it to hear your commands and control devices. Tactile controls, the injection-molded case and LED ring lend to its premium feel, allowing it to blend into the home. 

Note: Voice Preview Edition requires Home Assistant to operate. Lower-performance Home Assistant hardware may result in slower speech processing. For optimal performance, we recommend offloading speech processing to Home Assistant Cloud if your hardware is less powerful.
