@cassidy When #Mycroft the company died, the cloud servers needed for the STT and TTS died too.
There's a RPi inside which *might* be enough to run the older #HomeAssistant #WyomingSatellite or the current #LinuxVoiceAssistant.
Pull the uSD card, install #RPiOS (no desktop), and see if the Python will run.
Getting the LED array and buttons working will take more work... unless someone else has adapted a #MarkOne
(mine is back in the box!)

@laryllan @cassidy Not much to say - #homeassistant voice keeps evolving from a RPi to an ESP32, and now a cheap FOSS device with a decent DAC and on-chip activity detection and processing.

The protocol was Wyoming, but this evolved to #LinuxVoiceAssistant as part of #ESPhome (and can run on RPi now).
The back-end can be anonymised cloud (like #Mycroft was) or fully local of you reduce the models or have a big GPU (trades accuracy Vs silicon).
@jamesderrick @laryllan yeah I have a couple HAVPE and would love if I could just make the Mycroft hardware be that… but ideally with the eyes and mouth working! So far I haven't had any success with OpenVoiceOS working with the hardware ootb, either. 😕
