Hi community,
Im excited about the Voice Assistant, mostly the local processing ability. I dont currently use any voice assistant because we’re creeped out about a device constantly listening to everything that goes on in our home. So I’m up for trying a local based Voice Assistant even if its still in its early stages.
I had a few questions for the community before I dive in this rabbit hole. Please excuse me if some of these have been discussed before or are obvious. I’m tech savvy but not hardcore… I avoid YAML if I can help it.
- To get started: Do I need to buy the Voice Assistant module or can I install the software on a Synology and use my iPhone (HASS App) as microphone?
- If module is necessary. Do I need the module in every room I want the voice assistant or can I use my iPhone in any part of the house?
- Can the Voice Assistant be easily configured (as in doesnt need programming code modification ) to recognize claps? My wife is nostalgic about the clapper and would be great to surprise her with that functionality. A better version at least than the old 80s crappy device. Believe it or not, havent been able to get iOS or MacOS to recognize claps??.. its like the functionality is patented or something.
Anyway thanks in advice.
Cheers
