From a bit of Googling I've seen people complaining about poor voice detection on ESP32-S3-BOX-3 compared to existing proprietary solutions obviously (like Google Nest and Amazon Alexa speakers) but also the Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition - how reliable have you found its detection of the wake command? And maybe has your custom wake word thing made it better at voice detection than however people would usually use it?

Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
