I don't use a HA so not familiar with the details of what's out there, but where are you having the problems? Is voice recognition fine and the model just isn't always following the directions precisely? If not, what are you using, whisper or something else? (I'm in search myself of a better voice to text that's local). Certainly by now there are local models fine tuned for being HA, which would work better than a general purpose that could drift or misunderstand common commands.

None. They're pretty awful for this purpose. I'm working out a build for something a bit different for voice commands that I may release in the next couple of weeks.
It's been a few weeks, @just_another_person@lemmy.world ... Did you release anything? Any hints as to what may be coming?
I used the llama 3.2 3b model for a while. It ran Okeyish enough on a laptop with gtx1050 (about 10s to 2 minute response time). I've personally opted to go without ollama for now though as the automations and build in functions in the voice preview edition are more than enough for me at the moment especially with recent updates.
I don't think I've tried it without ollama, I may give that a shot.
If you do you should use speech-to-phrase instead of whisper. I've found it to be more reliable if you're using it with automation commands instead of an LLM. In your automations you can setup phrases as a trigger. It has support for aliases as well and I believe that it also supports templating for sentences.
The Gemma 27b model has been solid for me. Using chatterbox for TTS as well
27b - how much VRAM does it use?
Looks to be 20gb of vram
So basically for people who have graphic cards with 24GB VRAM (or more). While I do, it's probably something most people don't ;)
Yeah, I went a little crazy with it and built out a server just for AI/ML stuff 😬
