Home Assistant is finally taking on Alexa. They sent me early access to their new Home Assistant Voice. It’s like Alexa….but way smarter. This thing uses AI to control your ENTIRE smart home, and in this video, I’m unboxing it, testing out its features, and sharing my thoughts. Can Home Assistant Voice really replace Alexa? Let’s find out! 🔥🔥Join the NetworkChuck Academy!: ntck.co/NCAcademy 🛠 Explore Home Assistant: www.home-assistant.io/ **NOT Sponsored

Two things, update your stuff because you can set a pipeline to do local stuff first then fallback to ai if needed, think turn on lights vs when did the matrix come out. It's in the pipeline settings. Second thing, the Wyoming satellite can be set up as a media player as well! Not too hard to run from music assistant! Good luck!

I'm pretty sure that 50% of your issues were caused by not updating Home Assistant beforehand (and using the newer local processing for HA commands functionality), and the other 50% were down to your own random LLM. Enjoyed the video, but I do think if you're going to review something, it's helpful to make sure the things it depends on are in good working order first. Otherwise, it's not very fair to the product.

I think it's was a very fair video because he pointed out in the beginning that this is a limited beta. He also did show that it was working well with default Home Assistant stuff - and that it was his customizations that were not working. He also showed that there were updates and he chose to install them. Would have been unfair to say 'this isn't working', 'the product isn't good', or have not performed updates or tested other settings. Would the video have gone smoother? Of course. However he framed it as "I just got this, I haven't opened it yet, let's take a look."

Best first impression video I've seen... I ordered one the day they were released, but after this, I may have to buy another immediately!! :-) One thing I'd love to know is whether you can ask how much time is left on the timer, and also can you have more than one timer set at the same time? Also, is there some way to make it primarily use the built in conversation agent and just send the command to the AI if it didn't make sense locally? No reason to go to AI just to turn the lights on..

Hey Chuck! I noticed that you have pending updates for Home Assistant Core and OS in this video. When you were working with the timer and it not working with Ollama, specifically when you were changing the settings on the Conversation Agent, I didn't see one of the new options they added in a new update that _may_ have helped a bit here. The new option is directly under the "Conversation Agent" selection and is called "Prefer handling commands locally" with a toggle. What happens is the Home Assistant default local conversation agent is ALWAYS the first stop for a command no matter what agent is selected when the option is enabled. If the command is not understood it will then forward it to the agent you selected. This would have probably helped with the timer since it's a built in function, and then things like "When was the first Matrix movie released" would have went to your Terry Ollama agent. It's not perfect, as you've noticed that the commands are very specific wording right now, but they add new ways of saying things all the time. So while it's not an LLM handling everything for you, it does cut down on some of the hiccups and confusion that LLMs currently do when hallucinating or otherwise. Otherwise, good video and I'm hyped for the new hardware!

It's not paranoid. The reason why you can often get an Amazon Echo for $20 is because Amazon sells them at a loss, because they know they can make far more revenue from the metrics gathered by listening to your every word. They also sell this data to other companies, who can then use it for targeting campaigns. Some people care more about privacy, and this is incredibly impressive given that it doesn't require a data center or internet to work.

Worse, some people have even had hours of OTHER people's conversations turn up in their data downloads - sufficient detail in fact to work out exactly who they were and where they lived (on the other side of the world) and get in contact with them.
