Makes sense. I'm also interested in getting something like it, I just don't want anything by Google or Amazon, and I've been too lazy to go the DIY route.

When I'm working in my garage, I'm usually listening to an audiobook, and all I need to do to pause is bump a button on the side with the back of my hand or something. Or sometimes I'll listen to a playlist. But if I'm working on something in the garage, it's usually not for very long (e.g. maybe an oil change, brake job, or headlights), so I'm usually in and out in 30 min to an hour. Some people love working in their garage though, I personally see it as a chore that I do to save some time and money.

Mine was a hacked Google home mini (physical hack, not software) where I took the speaker out to an aux jack to have it loud enough.

I was in there for hours for all sorts of projects like engine and trans rebuilds.
