Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Thanks. Yeah I don't want any cloud based stuff, especially not from Amazon as I'm afraid they will shut down Alexa if they keep losing money on it.

Guess I'll wait for now. Thanks.

Understandable. I feel like there must be something out there that works as a replacement, I just haven’t looked very deeply into it.

Sorry one more post :) I just found this one on Aliexpress which seems promising. Works via a dedicated app but it seems compatible with HA. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003331228026.html

Could be an affordable alternative.

Interesting, now I’m wondering if I should sell my CC audio for $200 and get one of these 🤔

I saw ESPMuse, which is an ESP32 based speaker, but has terrible reviews.
