I don't know that Home Assistant voice assist is ever going to be ready for prime time.
Played with the AtomM5 and ESP32 S3 for a few months, got my Voice Preview. This same command "turn on string lights" works 99.9% of the time on both Google and Amazon. I think I may get 20% success with HA...

More Home Automation process improvements. Had Whisper running on my gaming PC with a fancy NVIDIA graphics card. Problem is, it's in a different floor from the other HA RPis, going through two mesh routers, with a ping time up to 100ms at times. 1/2

I have changed my Home Assistant's wakeword for my satellites to "Skynet", and I'm pretty happy about that.

Looks like some vendors are pre-tariffing already. This from a company, DigiKey, I've bought from for years. Found the item elsewhere for the same price, sans addon.
I do think vendors should add this line to every purchase to call it out come January.

Spent the day customizing the ESP32-BOX-3 to play nice with Home Assistant. Not just voice, but on-screen widgets and info. Only thing remaining is reliable mute/unmute of a remote media player. I'm targeting getting Alexa fully replaced with in-house functionality before next year.
