Isn't that something like what this product is solving for? https://www.espressif.com/en/news/ESP32-S3-BOX-3

You can get your smart speaker and wake words with this. Integration with a voice recognition model and home assistant and you're golden.

    I'll take a look at that, thanks. It's been a year or so since I last looked at it but back then there was a push button that you could use but I couldn't get it going.

    Check out the FutureProofHomes youtube channel. He's developing a better presence/speaker puck, but the previous episodes get you something like an Alexa experience with voice assist. There's also a good thread in the HA forums about voice assist hardware ideas set up as a contest.
