So I followed the various videos from u/markwatttech to take an Amazon Echo Show 5 (gen 1), wipe the device and install lineageOS and then add View Assist to use the local HA assist.
It was fairly simple to do and the nice thing is the View Assist comes with blueprints already to help with commands like "What is the weather" or "Play/start X playlist".
One of my biggest issues with the Home Assistant Voice Preview and local Assist in general is having to create/program scripts for simple things like the weather.
What all are you using for those sort of scripts/commands/blueprints for the local LLM and are there any blueprints out there already that I can use my other Home Assistant Voice Previews and just kind of plug and play and allow for a better weather response, music start response other than "unable to answer" or "it is 60 degrees outside" (more elaborate weather report is what I'm looking for)
And for those who haven't seen the video or heard of View Assist: https://youtu.be/jN0_geF1Ur8
