Well, the M5Stack ATOM echo was sold out , so I tried another hardware combination, and I am so excited . My new custom component even works with the new esphome based voice assistant. Now I will build some displays to act as a status display and a voice assistant around the house.
See the video here: EspHoMaTriXv2: voice-assistant and status display with esphome.io - YouTube
Esphome, home assistant and my custom component are huge.
If you like my work, show it! Give me one star on GitHub or sponsor me. See https://github.com/lubeda/EsphoMaTrixv2 for details.
The custom component is in a beta state, but mostly ready to use. For the recognition of text, I use my nabucasa subscription, which is worth each penny!
