Voice & Music Assistant Dev Edition

Note: This is the official THIRDREALITY Voice & Music Assistant — preloaded with Home Assistant Voice Assistant and Music Assistant. Perfect for building a fully local, distributed voice and music experience in your Home Assistant smart home. Open source with GitHub support.  The version we are currently offering comes with Debug Board: In addition to firmware flashing and updates, it also enables real-time log reading, in-depth debugging, on-device development, and direct code editing—making it suitable for engineers or R&D teams working on feature development, troubleshooting, or customization.

The THIRDREALITY Voice & Music Assistant is a compact, open-source audio endpoint designed specifically for Home Assistant users. It functions as both a voice input terminal (satellite) and a music/TTS playback speaker in one device. Audio is captured locally and streamed to your Home Assistant host for processing, while text-to-speech (TTS) and Music Assistant streams are played back through the built-in speaker — all while keeping everything local and private.

This version is ideal for Home Assistant enthusiasts who want to deploy multiple voice satellites or add distributed audio playback throughout their home. Simply connect it to your Wi-Fi and add it as a satellite in Home Assistant for instant local voice control and music playback.
