I don't need to ask HA what the weight of a cow is, or any other LLM stuff, I just want to control the home
So, I've been faffng around with a Pi Zero and voice assistant and it works fine - with HA doing all the processing in a VM elsewhere.
I agree these 3 devices look much nicer, so which do I go for?
