Self hosting voice assistant (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

Hi all, looking for my next major project/frustration. I've been forcing myself to learn the new AI tools and I think I'm ready for the next step. I'm familiar with image generation and I dabbled in a bit of chat bot stuff, but I think I'm ready.

I've read a few blogs but I want to find something that could work with my existing setup. My dream setup would be:

A voice assistant that runs locally, preferably dockerized, backup linux, and final option would be Windows, that can run a decent model and preferably let me train a custom voice for it.

I currently have:

  • Home Assistant set up already, I've seen the OpenAI integrations but would like to migrate off of those
  • Google Minis laying around, I'm willing to sacrifice one of them if it means I can use my own stuff
  • Spare 1650GTX GPU, I know not the best but hopefully enough to get it off the ground before deciding to go in on a larger GPU that would be dedicated to this

Needs/wants/nice to haves would be:

  • Basic chat functionality, what's the weather like
  • Play music from my plex or jellyfin server
  • HA integrations so I could say stuff like "Turn off the lights"

Sorry for dumping all of this, like I said I've seen blog posts around, some are doing parts of this, but I wonder if anyone has done something like this. I'm sure people have tried. Guides, jumping off points, even githubs/projects you know of would be helpful.

Thanks all!

Rhasspy. Idk if rhasspy3 is out fully, but I would wait for that and then set it up. (I have began to see the home assistant side being released - its supposed to tie in a lot better than rhasspy2, and even brought the dev on to the HA project)

Didn't home assistant hire the guy who made rhasppy so he could work on their voice assistant?
