Wow, this is exactly what I'm looking for, thanks so much for developing it. I'm going to give it a shot over the holidays, have a pretty big home assistant install I'd love to control via voice.

I'd primarily like to be able to turn on/off a few specific switches, set a few specific scenes and ideally play a few playlists (squeezebox integrated with home assistant). Would creating scripts in HA and then calling them from Hi be the way to go for customising without building custom components?

If this works well I'll be keen to add a few cheap pis plus ps3 eye cameras around the house.

I have considered integrating Home Assistant scripts at some point, so people could trigger whatever they wanted in HA. I'll get it added to the issue tracker and try to work on it for a future release!

As far as multiple instances, I've been working on satellite images. So you could have on base on a pi 3/4 (or potentially even a server) and then use some pi 0's connected to mics placed wherever else.

So stay tuned!
