So my girlfriend has an Alexa and really likes it but I’m not comfortable living in a house with one. How much technical knowledge would I need to make a speaker that connects to a music player app and is voice activated because that is all she uses it for.
I figure I could hook up a raspberry pi to a speaker and add a mic and voice command software that I find somewhere but I’ve never actually done anything like this before.
How feasible is this
Home assistant declared this year to be the year of the voice. There’s a ton of development happening to achieve this with full local control.
And here is hardware that works with home assistant.
