I have these around the house:

https://www.home-assistant.io/voice-pe/

Then you can set the background AI to be any OpenAI compatible API. So I just created one to my local Rust Agent, and connected it to home assistant. Now I can yell from the couch to create me a new Proxmox container with the next free static IP address etc. :D

This is very cool. I think I’ll get it instead of using my home built device (a respeaker attached to a low power machine). Looks like it supports custom wake words too. Thank you!

It’s funny how we converged on a similar system. My agent is also written in Rust.

Yes. I tested OpenClaw that burned 15€ just by starting it and I hated its configuration. Spent 20€ in tokens and built my own in a day, that does everything I want and sips tokens.

What a time to be alive.
