I've been using Home Assistant for a couple of years (from memory I think it was soon after joining Lemmy I was convinced to set it up), and I have to say they have made great progress. It's amazing to see them double their active installations from 1 to 2 million in one year, that's awesome for what feels like a very niche product.

The progress on voice in particular is amazing. With a Voice preview, OpenAI, and Music Assist, my kids can start music where they only know some words and not the name of the song.

The only complaint is wake word detection isn't great with our accent. My wife swears it's sexist, she thinks it only listens if she puts on a male voice 😅

I'm really hopeful about how MusicAssistant will improve after reading this. I've got the voice blueprint set up, but am personally not wild about needing to use OpenAI for it to work well. I'd love to see some built-in intents for it. I have to say that building automations with custom sentences is very cool and relatively easy.
