I have setup assist today using Piper and Whisper and was really impressed, but clearly it’s only useful for controlling HA at the moment - if I were to replace my Alexa devices I would not be able to ask generic questions like I do now.
It made me wonder if anyone had put together a ‘conversation’ integration that allows the use of a HA assist satellite to ‘talk’ to alexa via HA satellites by parsing the request and submitting it to alexa voice service, then getting the response back and reading it out?
I saw there are 2 ‘conversation agent’ integrations (Google and OpenAI) - Google’s doesn’t appear to be available in the UK and OpenAI seems to require a paid service… would be nice to hear if there are other options out there for answering general questions
