I use one to control my house with Home Assistant. It's pretty great, and it was a lot of fun to assemble.

Sounds interesting, could you elaborate on what you do with?

    Not much to say, really; it controls my house in Home Assistant using an LLM, and a STT/TTS server. It acts as the Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition, with a trigger word and whatnot.

    It's basically like giving an Alexa, Siri, or Gemini a body. It moves, show "emotions", comments when someone enter the room, uses the camera to see who entered the room and comment on that, make comments when my 3D printer finishes, things like that.

    I can also turn on lights, the TV, the AC, ask about the weather, and other basic assistant stuff, ofc.

      So basically you're using it as an AI mother in law, nice.
