Any experiences with a self-hosted assistant like the modern Google Assistant? Looking for something LLM-powered that is smarter than older assistants that would just try to call 3rd party tools directly and miss or misunderstand requests half of the time.
I’d like integration with a mobile app to use it from the phone and while driving. I see Home Assistant has an Android Auto integration. Has anyone used this, or another similar option? Any blatant limitations?
Using Home Assistant with Qwen locally. It functions better than any version of Google Home I’ve had. Understands me without having to think about how I say things. Can ask it for one or multiple things at the same time. Can even make it so that it pretends to be Santa Claus while responding. My wife was ecstatic when she heard the Ho-ho-ho while asking to turn the coffee machine on on Christmas.
