• Mycroft – open-source voice assistant

  The key feature I haven't seen any of these opensource projects implement is microphone response coordination: If you have multiple microphones and speakers, which one responds? My google home's are terrible at this: often one in another room responds, but at least it's only one. When I tried to run Genie (https://genie.stanford.edu/) I had multiple devices responding simultaneously. It was a disaster. For me,... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: I record myself on audio 24x7 and use an AI to process the information

  It's incredibly easy to do (caveat - at least if you're familiar with software dev already). Most thermostats are literally just digital thermometers that control a relay that turns the furnace/ac on and off. A simple arduino (or much cheaper IC) can easily do the same thing if you wire it in. And then on the software side... there's several large, open-source projects that exist in this space and provide nice api... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Thanks I Hate Google And Alexa

There are things like almond which is entirely self hosted option I’d like to move to eventually. Source: about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What is the Duck Duck Go of smart speakers?

  I think a key feature of a smart speaker is the voice assistant. The only privacy aware I know of is Almond (AKA Genie) from Stanford[1]. I don't think there is any commercial speaker using Almond out there. However, Im betting you could DIY it. [1] https://genie.stanford.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
