This project was born to virtualize voice assistants. After my first project, voice-satellite-card, which detects the wakeword directly in the browser without an OpenWakeword backend but entirely in js with wasm, I thought of an independent VA compatible with the esphome protocol and also media_player. The project is in its early stages but it works. If anyone is interested, especially if they want to adopt and implement it: GitHub - emme99/hybrid-voice-assistant: A zero-hardware Voice Assistant for Home Assistant that runs entirely in your browser, backed by a lightweight Python relay server.
