This section of the latest announcement from Home Assistant sounded very exciting:

However, this is changing - over the past 6 months, we have built our own hardware! It will be the first voice assistant hardware built from the ground up to work with Home Assistant, fully open source (firmware and hardware), and it is going to be released very soon. It is truly the missing hardware piece to a more approachable voice experience in Home Assistant, and we cannot wait to see what you will build with it.

Very much looking forward to being able to get rid of my Alexa devices! I’ve been playing around with the voice functionality of Home Assistant via the Android app, and it seems really promising on the software side. I’ve been on the lookout for a good hardware device, and it sounds like this might be it!
