Hey everyone,

I’ve been experimenting with Home Assistant’s new voice assistant features and I’m curious how usable it really is in everyday life. As far only on the phone app…

My main question: What hardware are you using to talk to your Home Assistant throughout the house? I’m looking for solutions that are reliable and practical for regular use—not just for testing.

Also, how well does the interaction work for you? Is the voice recognition accurate enough? How natural does the conversation feel?

Personally, I find the current preview hardware a bit underwhelming in terms of design and performance. I can’t really imagine placing one in every room yet. But maybe someone has already found a better setup?

Curious to hear your experience.

Oh and by the way, what are the next steps your awaiting? Will the Voicemodel from ChatGPT something you can integrate in HA soon? For even more real conversations.
