This is a great open source project to create your own locally hosted voice assistants. The user can host it and create their own intents for any sentences/intents they want.
I am a long time user and follow this project closely.
This looks really cool! Since you’ve been using it, what’s your opinion on how mature this project is?
It is very functional especially for DIY-inclined people! The creator has been hired by Nabu Casa (the creators of Homeassistant) to implement voice services for their Year of Voice.
This iteration of Rhasspy (2.5) is quite mature with good features. The only caveat is that it cannot handle wildcard intents. It can have multiple slots for a sentence (e.g Turn on the (kitchen|bedroom) light), but not a wildcard (e.g. Turn on the * light).
Rhasspy 3 has been released as a development build but is still quite early in its lifecycle.
How did you try hosting this? What was your opinion?
I run it on a raspberry pi 3B+ with a SEEED 2 mic hat. I am very impressed and recommend it to anyone with an interest in offline voice.
I have also tried the server/satellite approach but found that standalone devices worked better for my purposes.
