One of its features is the dial attached to the center of the device, which when operated displays an animated LED and provides a slight clicking sensation, making it easy for anyone to intuitively operate it, for example to adjust the volume.
And because it was developed for Home Assistant, after you turn it on, it will seamlessly discover the devices you need without you having to register them.
The important thing about a voice assistant device is that it responds accurately to voice instructions. Home Assistant Voice is equipped with dual microphones and an XMOS audio processing chip, so voice instructions reach the device in a clear state, making it very responsive.
Furthermore, being open source makes it easy to customize the hardware.
The included speaker is only designed for alerts and voice prompts, but you can also use it as a media player by connecting the speaker via the 3.5mm audio jack and using the Music Assistant app.
The Home Assistant Voice preview version is now on sale for a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $59 (approximately 9,250 yen).
