Curious about the Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition? I recently picked one up to move further away from cloud-based voice assistants and bring more local control to my smart home.   In this video, I share my first impressions, starting with the unboxing and walking through the setup process to get it connected to Home Assistant. We'll test out some basic commands and troubleshoot a minor hiccup I encountered.   But the real fun begins when I integrate Ollama to run a local AI model! See how I customized the assistant's personality to be a bit... snarky. It's the local voice assistant I've always wanted!   Join me as I explore the Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition and the possibilities of truly local, personalized voice control.
