Man this type of shit is why I’m getting rid of google Assistant and going to a FOSS home assistant setup. I don’t want chat gpt. I want to add things to my calendar, my shopping list, turn off lights and open/close blinds. I want to mute speakers at a certain time with a routine that isn’t broken every five minutes. I want timers that work reliably. I want to be able to make an announcement when Amazon is at the door. Why are they making this so difficult?

Are there any HA smart speakers ?
A couple dev boxes:
Nothing commercial available is very good, but hopefully that will change soon.
I was hoping for a less involved solution, but I guess it’s a low price to pay for privacy. Thanks for sharing!
Must be difficult because thus far no one has been able to do any of those things with any degree of reliability.
Details!
How do you disable assistant and what do you use instead. How good is it? Does it work on pixels?

Yes, this works on Pixels. Home Assistant is a mature open source home automation platform.
