@Dark1886 This is a post with many links discussing this effort.
The first announcement I saw of the satellite was on The Verge in April of this year.
The satellite was also discussed in the Year of Voice Chapter 7 Livestream, at about 01:58:00.
It’s important to note that the “ReSpeaker Lite” is a different product than what Nabu Casa is developing, even though they have similar internals.
So we have 3 voice satellites that should be available by the end of the year:
- The ReSpeaker Lite by Seeed Studio
- The Satellite1 by FutureProofHomes
- Nabu Casa’s satellite (codename: VoiceKit)
All three will feature some variant of the ESP32-S3 running ESPHome and the XMOS XU316 chip for audio processing. They will differ, however, in their enclosures, sensors, and LEDs, buttons, expansion ports, etc. The hope is that there will be something for everyone
