Key Features Privacy by Design: Unlike mainstream smart speakers, the Voice PE is built with an absolute focus on privacy. It features a physical hardware mute switch that disconnects power to the microphones, ensuring it only listens when you want it to. Advanced Audio Processing: Equipped with an XMOS XU316 audio processor and a dual-microphone array, the device uses beamforming, echo cancellation, and noise suppression to hear your commands clearly, even in noisy environments. Tactile & Visual Feedback: A high-quality rotary dial allows for smooth volume and brightness adjustments, while a customizable multicolored LED ring provides instant status updates for listening, processing, and notifications. Fully Local or Cloud-Powered: Run your voice processing 100% locally on your Home Assistant server (Intel N100 or higher recommended) for maximum speed and privacy, or offload it to the Home Assistant Cloud for effortless setup and fast performance on lower-power hardware. Hackable & Expandable: Built on ESPHome, the device is a tinkerer’s dream. It includes an internal Grove port for adding sensors (like temperature or motion) and a 3.5mm audio jack to connect your own high-fidelity speakers. What’s in the Box?
