Any recommendations for a voice tool? It felt like I would need to setup a room microphone on my orange pi when I was reading the docs.
I haven't done it myself but it looks like you'll need some esphome devices like a speaker and a microphone
It doesn’t help you if you need something right now, but Home Assistant is looking into building / engineering their own voice satellite device
