Pardon my ignorance. If I want to replace my Echo dots at home, can I make some kind of like, home made ones? I like having them for light control and music etc. but. After having them a few years they certainly have limits and privacy disadvantages. I have all hue lights at home myself. The echos just act as interfaces. Nobody in the family really uses the web interface much for light control. It’s usually voice. Can I have my cake and eat it to? How? Raspberry pi?
I really hope somebody finds a way to upload custom firmware to Google or Alexa speakers. I like the hardware and the sound and I know I will not be able to build something as nice myself…
