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
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
Because there's surely enough software available, right (i.e. susi.ai, Mycroft, Kalliope, DeepSpeech, leon, Jasper, Vosk or Genie)? Source: about 2 years ago
On the home assistants, it’s actually a cool solution. What they do is actually use a local ML algorithm to recognize the alert word (hey Google, Alexa, etc.) and only when they hear it do they stream the audio to their inference servers. There are things like almond which is entirely self hosted option I’d like to move to eventually. Source: about 2 years ago
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

Root privileges are just that. It's not a no no. Android is Linux and hopefully one day some OS will be released for mobile devices based off Linux, have sudo and su, have a package manager, bash, init (not systemd), Grub2, various Linux kernels available etc. There are projects like Manjaro ARM, PostmarketOS. But they're just not ready yet. Although, a bit off topic here, I apologize, this project is pretty rad... Source: about 1 year ago

Plasma Bigscreen also looks alright but it's still early on, I plan to try it out eventually so I'll give open-gamepad-ui a try as well when I do. Source: about 1 year ago
There is https://plasma-bigscreen.org/ being worked on which you could theoretically run with steam big picture mode when it's done. Source: over 1 year ago
