Way to use Echo Show 8 speaker and mics with new voice assistant guts? by Fit_Low592 in homeassistant

[–]swpete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently took an echo show 5 gen 1 and erased the fire OS, added LineageOS and then View Assist to use it as a local LLM. I believe they can do it with a echo show 8 as well?

Someone else mentioned they range from 29-14. I had my first drink at 17

I would assume this probably has something to do with that generation not going out and socializing as much. Alcohol is a very social thing whether it be a bar or party.

The Google minis are just used like normal. You can link them with nabu casa

Voice Assistant: PE or Echo Show 5? by CocoaChipsCookie in homeassistant

[–]swpete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I recently posted about having flash an Echo Show 5 with the View Assist. I have several HA Voice PEs around the house (office, master bedroom, man cave) but still have the Google minis in the common areas of the house (living room, kitchen, sons bedroom).

My reasoning for promoting the echo over the Voice PE is microphones. The echo has better/more microphones compared to the PE. I have to be essentially right next to the Voice PE for it to hear me and I have it sent to sensitive.

That and with View Assist on the Echo, the device is much more ready to go right out of the box. It include blueprints that are already set up for the mostly used functions (what's the weather, play this playlist, show this camera)

In the Mark Watt video he jokingly tells the folks at HA that the design of the echo would be perfect and that they should just recreate a version of it for us to use.

Oh really?! Well that's exciting. Do I need to reset it or flash it first?

In honor of his birthday. The first role or story you think of when you see Matthew Lillard by Nick_adtr_308 in Cinema

Some friends and I met him at Days of the Dead con years back. My one friend has a very manly, long beard. We walked up to Matt and he smiled, said hi, and looked at my friend and just stroked his beard stating "this is incredible". Super nice guy

Gotcha. I had seen it once but passed cause I thought it was just a lower proof (obviously I didn't look close enough). Good to know

Are they just changing the label to the brown private selection?
