Even more exciting news, as this is Home Assistant’s year of the voice: Chapter 4 of this endeavor has been announced and will be streamed live on YouTube on 12 October 2023, at 12:00 PDT / 21:00 CEST! Be sure to tune in! I’ve seen some early demos… All I’m going to say is: It is mind-blowing! 🤯
Will be curious to see if they ever add transient timers for commands. Google will happily turn off the lights in 5 minutes as a command. In Home Assistant I’d have to go in, create a timer helper, add the light to turn off…
October 12th? Wow that is great news!
From the release notes for October:

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I can imagine eventually but I don’t think that’ll be their prioritized focus for a bit, cause it doesn’t seem like it’d have a massive useage case
