Consider leveraging the HA ecosystem of integrations, but for automations add Node Red. There is a well maintained WS node to HA that lets you call any service/action in HA and listen for events or device state changes. https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-home-assista... Along with everything else NR provides like MQTT pub/sub, only limit is imagination and time. I've been doing this for years. Another moving piece I know, but it has been bullet proof for me

I can second Frigate and welcome any work in this space, so nice work OP will have a look. For others asking, I have found so far Hikvision POE PTZ domes like DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 have been reliable, depends on your budget. I have cams themselves fully locked down from internet and on a separate subnet on the local net. OPNSense is also a friend here. I would love some OSS firmware for these cams. For remote, I find ZeroTier to Frigate & Home Assistant machines is all I need. I get why others WireGuard too. YMMV

I get "It sounds like you're cautioning against overanalyzing a situation. Can you clarify what you're referring to?"

Same here, Brave on Android

Consider using ZeroTier or any WireGuard based SDN instead, for remote access to self hosted services.

Without detracting from OP's efforts, also see Project Alice. https://github.com/project-alice-assistant/ProjectAlice

It is self hosted, offline by default, with options to use various ASR and TTS engines, some online, depending on your own privacy, performance or quality choices. It's quite mature and the maintainers are aiming for a 1 0.0 version release. I have been running it as the primary voice interface to my home automation system for years.

As someone else said elsewhere, there are a few assistants around now. Perhaps there is some benefit for sharing of resources too, as all struggle for contributors.

Minor correction, I don't think Datomic is used. I believe it uses a variation of DataScript and in turn DataLog for queries. Whereas Datomic is a DB which is also based on and uses DataLog queries.

Either way, super powerful.

Have you looked at https://roonlabs.com/ ? I'd be interested in your opinion if you have

This is very nice, thanks for making it. I'm looking forward to improvements in the sentiment analysis.

How often are you updating your results ? Can I download the recommendations dataset for offline queries ?

I have tried many many tools over the years. Each time limitations, platform support or proprietary data formats frustrated me. In recent years I started to experiment just using Markdown files, but then cross references and having to organise document and folder structure ahead of time proved to be yet another failing.

Started to look at a few modern takes on the problem including Roam Research. A few months ago I found https://logseq.com/ Still in beta but progressing quickly. So far I think I have finally found my happy place.

I have had a few cards go but I never isolated the cause. Certainly unceremoniously cutting power occurred a few times.

I got tired of the inconvenience of having to rebuild the Pi installation and flashing SD cards, so now I boot my Pi4 directly from a USB attached SSD, no card on-board at all. I haven't looked back. Others seem to also be getting good result like: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/im-booting-my-raspber...

There is also a difference between buggy for the first time, which tends to cause a user to dismiss the app, versus sometimes buggy after the app is well established as useful for the user. At that point, there is a different dynamic at play for competitors, they need to be perceived a significant percentage better than the incumbent to overcome and justify the effort of the user changing. I have no sources to back that up sorry, just something observed.

The pieces of Snips that were OSS before Sonos bought and ditched the community are being leveraged along with new work in Project Alice https://github.com/project-Alice-assistant It continues to strive to be modular and offline. By design, the choice of online/offline elements including Google ASR and Amazon TTS along with corresponding quality and privacy tradeoffs is your choice. Come give a hand.
