This looks like a viable competitor to the recently announced HA Voice Preview hardware. Looks like it's sold out at this point but there will be more coming. More microphones, presence detection and a builtin amplifier to run fairly substantial speakers.

Right‽ Gotta love when people think that their opinion is the only one that matters.

Dude is making one board that'll work for as many situations as possible and letting you decide what you want to do with it (and it's right there in the name - future proof!), but somehow that is honestly too much.

For myself, I like having options.

Also, the official HA hardware also has an expansion port on it, think this guy complained about having that on there as being too much?

Personally I think the mm wave sensor they chose is kinda junky. But that doesn't bother me because nobody is forcing me to add it on.
