No wake word for the companion app? Seems silly to design new voice assistant hardware to do what all the android phones and tablets can already do.
I understand there are some 3rd party apps to automate custom wake words and trigger the listener in the companion app.
With the ‘Year of the Voice’ just wrapping up I thought for sure there would be some movement on this front. Nope, just some expensive ESPHome hardware for voice integration.
How many phones, tablets, other android hardward could be repurposed for HA use if local wake words worked.
