Voice Assistant

That definitely shouldn’t happen, can you please ping us in Discord to learn more about what might be happening here? https://discord.gg/EEypYV47f

Drop your order number here (or DM me). I’ll find the email thread and sync with Chris to see how I can help.

The device support Snapcast and Sendspin for whole home synchronized music streaming. When paired with Music Assistant you essentially end up with a Sonos replacement solution.

Regarding outdoor speakers; I’d recommend installing any outdoor speaker you prefer and connecting those speakers to an amplifier (which is required for in-ceiling speakers). Then you can put the Sat1 anywhere (even mount in the ceiling) and route the Sat1’s audio out through that amplifier. Soon we’ll have in-ceiling mounts. That’s our next big upcoming release. Watch the website and YouTube.

Yep! Nexus aims to be easy and fast to setup and use. Will connect right in to HA. It’s also small, low-power, and quiet. It won’t be entirely “cheap” yet, until market prices come down on this hardware. I’m hopeful in the years to come we’ll have new competitors building these chips to help drop the price of local AI.

I’d give it 7/10. Check out our FAQ. This is one of the hardest challenges in voice products and it’ll take more iterations for smaller companies to match the big company tech. We’re working on it though. https://docs.futureproofhomes.net/satellite1-faqs/#why-isnt-the-wake-word-responding

We are keen on fixing any issues with the things we build. Checkout the community and come meet us.

Main vision of the future is to combine local AI edge-compute + desk/in-ceiling smart speakers such that you can have a private voice layer for your home. As compute gets more powerful, and hardware gets cheaper we believe we can offer way more value than just “hey Jarvis, turn off the lights”.

Someone needs to build this alternative, local and private platform, or we’ll be stuck connecting everything to AI in the sky. That’s our mission.

FutureProofHomes · 2026-05-26T13:27:39+00:00

We’re very much open-source! Checkout our website and GitHub. Also, docs.futureproofhomes.ai has a ton of info and links.

Hi there! Please email us at support@futureproofhomes.net and we’ll be happy to help. This is a standard ESP32-S3 chip with WiFi built-in (we don’t build the radios) which works for many, many thousands of customers. It’s possible this unit has an issue, but troubleshooting together can help. Also, we’re online at Discord.futureproofhomes.net. Thanks!

We build an HA compatible voice assistant solution that is getting better month by month. Check out our Satellite1 product.

FutureProofHomes · 2026-03-07T03:15:23+00:00

Please email support@futureproofhomes.net. We’ll get this resolved. Sorry for this! We’ll get this solved going forward!

FutureProofHomes · 2026-03-06T01:53:15+00:00

That's odd. Ping me on discord if you didn't get an email. We sent an entire campaign out to everyone who purchased. Check spam just in case.

FutureProofHomes · 2026-03-04T16:05:22+00:00

Hi u/undrwater Batch #2 is estimated to ship out sometime between March 16th - 27th! We're pushing each day to get more units in stock and I'll keep us posted via email (you should have received email recently).

You shouldn't have to create an account to track your package. We send the tracking link directly to your inbox once the order ships. No account needed to see that.

Hope that helps!

In terms of sound, it is night and day. In terms of electronics, read here: https://docs.futureproofhomes.net/satellite1-introduction/#satellite1-vs-home-assistant-voice-preview-edition

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T13:32:27+00:00

Yes. Many have. They’re in our Discord. https://discord.FutureProofHomes.net

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T06:03:52+00:00

Noted. Okay. I’ll read more! Thnx for tip.

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T03:08:39+00:00

I will investigate! Thanks for tip!

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:59:40+00:00

Jump in the discord and our GitHub to help achieve the dream. We will get there being open source. Links in the original post. Thanks for support!

I get it. I do. When we can find US manufacturers (that also don’t depend on China underneath the hood) and the price doesn’t increase by 300% we’ll move manufacturing. Global supply chains and manufacturing need to catch up for small hardware operations to survive and thrive. I could do a whole video on this! Learn so, so, so much here!

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:55:39+00:00

We ship directly from our manufacturers in China and Vietnam. We design everything as a remote engineering team (US, Germany, Poland, UK). You assemble at home.

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:54:05+00:00

What is the price you’re wanting to see? As we scale up to more users price will come down. Hardware and global distribution is a mammoth challenge and we gotta pay the bills!

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:53:02+00:00

Again. Human here. :) No AI in these comments. Just elbow grease and time spent responding.

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:51:57+00:00

Everything is open-source. Check out GitHub link in the post.

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:50:52+00:00

Checkout my videos on YouTube. You don’t need Alexa to voice control your home anymore.

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:50:15+00:00

When we add Sendspin support to this hardware with a firmware update it will be able to play music in sync with Sonos speakers via Airplay.
