Some time ago, Home Assistant co-founder Paulus Schoutsen announced that Home Assistant would be getting support for its own voice assistant.

"Our goal for 2023 is to let users control the Home Assistant in their own language," Schoutsen said on his blog.

He also added that the new project, which is targeted for release in 2023, can localize all voice commands that control smart devices without the need to connect to the cloud owned by assistants such as Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant.

To build his own voice assistant, Nabu Casa, Schoutsen's cloud company needed someone with experience, so developer Michael Hansen was asked to lead the project.

According to The Verge, Hansen is the creator of another open-source product called Rhasspy, their own community-supported voice assistant that integrates technology into any solution they try to build.

Currently, the user interface for the Home Assistant app supports 62 languages, and Schoutsen hopes the community can help set things up with voice.
