A fully local voice assistant setup
SMRTR summary
This is a guide for building a fully local voice assistant using Platypush, designed to run on modest hardware like a Raspberry Pi without relying on cloud services. The setup chains together OpenWakeWord for hotword detection, Vosk for speech-to-text, and Piper for text-to-speech — all running on-device. An optional AI model handles complex or unclear commands, and can also be run locally using tools like Ollama, keeping everything on your home network.
