Alexa Show, Lenovo Smart Clock Smart Display alternative.
Alexa Show, Lenovo Smart Clock Smart Display alternative.
Im interested if people are finding anything witha similar form factor to Alexa Shows or Lenovo smart clocks that can run Linux ?
Im particularly interested in something with a decent speaker, integrated camera and display. Ideally 12v DC or POE powered.
I'm also looking for self hosted apps with pushtotalk or Dropin features.
I know I could probably cobble something together but ideally something well formed but would be cool.
What are people's thoughts / suggestions?
I think you can do push-to-talk/drop-in at least via tts using BroswerMods on home assistant, that would be one option.
@wildbus8979 Oh right you are talking about #texttospeach for # pushtotalk using Browser Mod smarthomescene.com/guides/brow… - For the UI interface. I was thinking more like making video call or sending a voice/video message.
I'd be interested to know this also. I'd love to have a similar device that isn't constantly 'phoning home' to whatever company is selling it.
I kinda wish the #mycroft had been more successful .. or someone else would have anotehr go.
I also found this thing. Which has an interesting form factor but no idea what the underlying spec is banana-pi.org/web/index.php?to…
Along with some weird stuff on ebay
I found the #Lenovo #smartclock which runs a version of #Android and has people tinkering with it xdaforums.com/t/xiaomi-mi-smar…

I was looking at options such as a Degoogled #Android Tablet or something like a HP Pro X2 Tablet 612 G2 with #Ubuntu. Then the software is the key. #HomeAssistant I guess would provide the UI - hopefully with voice. I'm still trying to get a jitsi instance running on #yunohost
