The Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition is a dedicated USB-C powered voice hub created to bring fully local, privacy-first voice control to smart homes powered by Home Assistant.
This compact device serves as both a testing platform for developers and a preview for users who want to experience the future of open-source voice interaction. It features dual microphones with advanced XMOS audio processing to capture commands clearly, a multi-color LED ring for visual cues, and a built-in speaker for responses and notifications. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Home Assistant, it can operate fully offline or leverage Home Assistant Cloud for voice processing while keeping user privacy at the core.
