Home Assistant made their own Alexa!!
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!

Can anyone confirm, their website suggests there may be a monthly subscription, tied into the remote access cloud service (hard pass on cloud access and micro transactions!).
I’d really like to see a comparison video between this and the S3 Box. What are the pros and cons of each?
How is this better, worse, or different from using one of those little $30 ATOM ESP devices?
I don’t want to pay for Nabu Casa. I nearly managed to get python to react to my voice, but it was slow and rather too dodgy to continue developing. Can you make a wake word detector that will trigger with a custom word? Also, I’d like to turn on a radio in another area. Can you show how I do that?
Thanks.
Mike kinda sounds like Mandark from the Dexter cartoons…
That sounded like a kiwi radio station
How did you make your own voice
Nice and snug, nice and flush
Because 1 NetworkDouche wasn’t enough now we have DoubleNetworkDouche,king of all DoucheTubers😂
I didn’t realize there was a 2nd channel from you.
Was there an announcement on that? I was looking through channel #1 and couldn’t find this vid…and now I know why!
Thanks BTW, love your coffee and enthusiasm, keep it up!

This is so bad hahaha
Great, hope that it will be available soon.
What I want is a solution where I can plant STT devices around the house, then Home Assistant and its voice assistant use the in-ceiling speakers in the appropriate rooms
Wouldn’t the correct caption under your thumbnail be, "Home Assistant Made ITS own Alexa"? Home assistant is one thing, but when you say the word "their", it implies two or more. Actually, it doesn’t imply it, it insists on it, which is why it is completely wrong.
love the YT Channel. I bought a few the day they dropped and did not do my research luckily i had a few pi’s laying around. 1st that dashboard is sexy, mine is lacking of the fullness I’m working on my house phone integration atm, thanks for all the help I would be out my mind from struggling and would have a much bigger head ack daily if it wasn’t for you helping everyone/me the way you do thanks again. cheers☕
Someone needs to make the voice the same as on Star Trek!
The voice of Majel Barrett.
And make the wake word “COMPUTER”!
Its a fever dream, I needed a home assistant running a LLM from a long time, looks like I need Home assistant now
can someone help me: I dont have a wake word section in any voice assistant ? i rebooted the services, the device, nothing helps. Under integration all looks fine
What would be good is a kit to convert the 10+ Alexa I have. A circuit board change or something
Hey Chuck, merry Christmas! Nice Video and nice shirt! Greeting from Bremen!
First why is the Echo (Not Alexa) the comparison target, as it’s the WORST of all the assistant’s??? Well maybe not worse than Siri, but right there, as bad. Second, What would be the advantage of using this over a Google Home??? THAT IS THE KEY QUESTION THAT NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED FOR THIS TO BE EVEN A REMOTE CONSIDERATION, LET ALONE SUCCESSFUL. Otherwise, it’s useless… Also, you never mentioned price point???
Alexa is Out of the House when homeAssistant Voice is final
LOL "you’re crazy… 🤭"
The channel is active again 🤘
Does it work with Googles AI Gemini?
can you make a vid on talking to your ai through a pc? I’ve been trying for a while can’t figure it out.
The new face of stupid.
Thx
This highlights why I’m waiting for a Home Assistant device that can replace my Echo Show. Need a screen so I can see at a glance the timer is working as I rely on it for cooking and would otherwise set the kitchen on fire. 😉
Can you play local music from a NAS with voice or do you need to have music loaded into HA cheers, can you play individual tracks and playlists
Your videos inspired me to get ollama running on my Linux workstation and hooked up to HA, just in time to watch the launch video for the new device and order one during the livestream. It arrived today. Very happy. Thanks.
I have given my home assistant the name Turing
cool concept
Was this posted to the right channel?
Comparing it to Alexa seems insulting to HomeAssistant.
iv very hyped to get my hands on my one this so much easyer and cheaper than using the pi and i cant wait to see how this improvs
Thank you
Now I see why they disabled the Easy operation of Home Assistant on Android Phones and Tablets.. (Google) wants to sell you one of these.. (Spy Devices)
Unless it’s cheap enough to put in every room, not useful for me.
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..
Agree, it’s not a good hardware solution. No doubt software will improve but they should have had more input from the community on the hardware design. What is it with NC with a translucent case?
Beautiful ! Thx for testing
@NetworkChuck – Is this your channel to? @networkchuck_v2
Why aren’t you terminating your home assistant with a certificate? Hell at the very least create your own self signed CA and issue yourself certs.
I have been waiting for a local voice assistant. There have been a lot of people give this a go. It is nice to see HA get it right. I am looking forward to these being available. I will be buying a few to replace the few Google/Amazon/Apple ones still left in my house. Great video.
So chuck. what about home assistant yellow with the new raspberry pi CM5, and combined with this nabu? would it still be slow to respond like when everything was on the Pi in the setup videos, or would be wiser to still set it up on a faster server still?
Oh yeah… also need more detail on media handling in general. I have a significant local store of old ripped CDs.. Can I tell HA, with or without this device, to play a certain song, album, or playlist? I’ve never seen anything detailed on this and it would be a HUGE feature for me to get off of Spotify for day to day music..
Does it have a “talk less” mode?
i guess when you dont assign it at any room or zone it will stop saying "in the kitchen"
