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.

If you have Google home or Amazon Alexa, you should really look into project Alias. It prevents the smart speaker listening in until you use the new alert word… https://bjoernkarmann.dk/project_alias. Source: over 2 years ago
Yes, of course. It's actually weird that you can't set the trigger yourself entirely, albeit that there are products that you can physically put on top of the echo to add that. Namely this. Source: almost 3 years ago
