In todays video we are taking a look at the Onju Voice project which is a really cool Local Voice assistant project by Justin Alvey. It allows you to replace the internals of a Google Nest Mini and convert it into a Local Voice Assistant that can be used by Home Assistant Assist.

This will allow you to access and control all of your smart home domains that Assist has access to.

I am in no way affiliated with this project. It's just a cool project I wanted to share with my community.
