Review: linux-voice-assistant 1.1.12-1

Package Information

DescriptionLinux voice satellite for Home Assistant

Linux Voice Assistant provides voice satellite software for Home Assistant. It lets a Linux system act like an ESPHome voice device, allowing Home Assistant Assist to use it for remote voice control and interaction.

The assistant can capture speech from a microphone, perform local wake word detection with OpenWakeWord or MicroWakeWord, and play responses and announcements through the local audio system. In Home Assistant it can be discovered through the ESPHome integration and used for voice conversations, timers, announcements, and media playback.
