The new voice features like continued conversation where not having to repeat the wake word is going to be a game changer for sure. We also have the new Area dashboard and much much more!
Here's the 5 Features I really like! (If you couldn't tell I really like the voice one 😆)

I built an outside office to become my YouTube Studio. This quickly then became a workshop and the xTool P2 is one of the devices I have been using in the workshop. Some of the P2 processes are manual like turning on the extractors 🥱.

So lets automate them with Home Assistant!

This is vey much a niche one but hopefully its helpful to someone :)

One of the big visual changes in this update is the Automation Editor. What are your thoughts on the new design?

A few weeks ago I featured a really cool voice assistant project (Onju Voice) that allows you to replace the PCB inside of a Second Gen Google Nest Mini for a new board with an ESP32 that can give full local control.

You can read up on the Onju Voice project here: https://github.com/justLV/onju-voice#-home-assistant

I just got round to editing my video and you can find my HOW TO which covers the full setup and install here : https://youtu.be/xQqhqGd14YY

Have a great Christmas :)

Hopefully releasing the Nest Mini PCB change tutorial from a few weeks ago later on today. Also there will be a Last Minute Live Stream at 8:30 UK Time today (23rd December). You know how I like to do everything last minute 😂.

I will be opening some packages and talking tech.

See you then.

P.S here's a still from the tutorial video. Any guesses what that is? Wrong answers only 😂👇🏻

The best answer will win an Onju voice PCB and ill pick a winner in the stream.

Merry Christmas!
