The Third Reality speaker also recently came out.

So now there are three. The Pine one, the Home Assistant one, and the third Reality one.

    I don't need to ask HA what the weight of a cow is, or any other LLM stuff, I just want to control the home

    So, I've been faffng around with a Pi Zero and voice assistant and it works fine - with HA doing all the processing in a VM elsewhere.

    I agree these 3 devices look much nicer, so which do I go for?

    I'm getting fomo on that 3rd reality device. Kicking myself for buying 2 pine speakers now.

    The home assistant one (Voice PE) works very well as a front for conversational home control, but poorly for music (although to be fair it does include a headphone jack).

    This pine one seems larger, so maybe they’re doing better here with the speaker.

    I'm looking at Third Reality's website and I don't see a speaker anywhere... Did they announce it somewhere?
