Tom-Neverwinter commented 7 months ago

Objective: Integrate BUD-E with Home Assistant to enhance smart home automation through advanced AI-driven voice interaction.

Description: This feature request proposes the development of an add-on or plugin that enables BUD-E, an open AI voice assistant, to control and interact with Home Assistant's ecosystem. The integration aims to leverage BUD-E's conversational quality, naturalness, and empathy to provide users with a more intuitive and personalized smart home experience.

Key Features:

Voice Control: Allow users to use natural language voice commands through BUD-E to manage Home Assistant entities like lights, thermostats, and security systems. Contextual Awareness: Utilize BUD-E's ability to understand complex contexts and previous interactions to offer personalized automation suggestions and actions. Privacy and Local Processing: Ensure that the integration prioritizes user privacy by processing voice commands locally, in alignment with both BUD-E's and Home Assistant's commitment to data privacy. Easy Setup and Configuration: Design the integration to be user-friendly, with simple setup procedures for connecting BUD-E with Home Assistant, including a clear interface for linking devices and entities. Benefits:

Enhanced user experience with more natural and intuitive voice interactions. Increased personalization and efficiency in smart home automation. Strengthened privacy through local processing of voice commands. Request: We invite the development community and Home Assistant contributors to collaborate on this project to bring seamless AI-driven voice control to the Home Assistant platform, enriching the smart home experience for users worldwide.

Hey @Tom-Neverwinter, thanks for your request! We also discussed this topic and it would be super cool to run BUD-E on home assistants or any other portable devices. As you can see in our roadmap we have quite a lot plans for the project and I currently do not have the capacity to work on home assistant connectivity. However if you want to implement something like this, feel free to open a pull request.
