I was a heavy voice user of the old Google Assistant, as well as Google Home/Nest speakers, and have really grown to hate its Gemini based replacement on my phone. So often it screws up with basic commands that were intuitive and reliable on the old Assistant. It’s also slower and feels like a waste of resources to query an LLM for simple device and smart home commands
That’s a good point. Can I still self host on my domain while also using their cloud for voice processing?
Yes, you just set the STT in the voice setup to the home asst cloud.
