HOME ASSISTANT VOICE PE · UPGRADED
A real brain
for the puck.
Real-time voice for Home Assistant. Locally hosted. Bring your own brain.
The hardware was lovely. The brain was just OK.
Home Assistant Voice PE shipped beautiful hardware with a polite default assistant. Voix is the upgrade, the conversation the device was always capable of.
Press and talk.
Tap the button, speak, and it answers back through the puck. Proper real-time conversation, not a one-shot command and a beep.
Say "Hey Jarvis."
Dictate into anything on your Mac. Voix routes the transcript to your clipboard, ready to paste. No cloud round-trip you didn't ask for.
It keeps up.
It listens, answers, remembers the thread. It doesn't preface. It doesn't apologise. It doesn't pretend to be a person - but it talks like one.
One puck. Whatever mood you're in.
A mode is a voice, a model, a prompt, and a colour. Make one for work, one for the kitchen, one for winding down. The puck wears the colour while it's live.
Real-time back and forth. Streams the transcript live as you talk.
HA BLUE · DEFAULTConcise, terse, technical. Flags bugs and edge cases. No filler.
VIOLETA gentler voice for the evening. Quiet check-ins, no urgency.
LAVENDER · SOFTWhat's left on the shopping list and is it raining at the cottage?
Three items: milk, sourdough, bay leaves. And no - the cottage is sunny, 18°C, light wind from the southwest. You should go.
One brain. Every surface.
It started on the puck. Now the same brain reaches the desk and the pocket - each surface with its own job, and its own way of talking to you.
Voice PE
WHERE IT STARTEDThe puck on the shelf. Press the button, talk, and it answers back through the room.
Mac
NEW SURFACESay "Hey Jarvis" and dictate into anything. A quiet menu-bar listener that stays out of the way.
iOS
NEW SURFACEThe same brain in your pocket. Tap, talk, paste - dictation that travels when you do.
Web
NEW SURFACEThe dashboard in any browser. Read back what was said, tune your modes, check the pucks.
It lives on your network.
Voix runs on the hardware you already own. Nothing leaves the network except the LLM call, and you choose which brain takes it.
You own the network.
ESPHome firmware on the puck, a custom Home Assistant integration, and a tiny menu-bar app for dictation. No account. No telemetry. No monthly fee for the privilege of talking to your own house.
Wake-word detection, audio capture, routing, the clipboard hop, every device on your LAN.
Only the LLM request, to the model you picked. Swap it any time. Run it local if you like.
Talk to it.
It talks back.
One add-on repository. A Voice PE on the shelf and a brain of your choosing. Archived — it installs as it was left, with no updates coming.
