Home Assistant Voice PE

Home Assistant Voice PE is a desk from Nabu Casa, catalogued as Voice satellite in the Voice satellites & mic arrays meta-category. Its primary job is voice satellite or mic array for builders who need an inspectable path rather than a sealed appliance. In practice it targets: Official Home Assistant Assist satellite; Hardware mute; LED ring; volume dial; and Local or cloud STT/TTS pipelines.

Openness is listed as firmware+hardware. Technology notes in this catalog point to: ESPHome YAML firmware; XMOS audio DSP; dual mics; 3.5 mm jack; and microWakeWord / Assist pipelines. Heavy models usually sit on a phone, SBC, or edge box; the device itself is the sensor, array, camera, brain, or actuator surface depending on class.

For an agentic operating system this is a room-level voice front end: wake-word and duplex audio can carry proposals and confirmations without a closed smart speaker. Catalog possibilities include Privacy-first smart speaker replacement; Community ESPHome forks (Open Voice PE); and Room-level voice front-end for company OS.
