I had to reconfigure which NIC was set as eth0 but that’s basically it for me

I would highly consider putting your HA behind a cloudflare tunnel if possible.

Set up client certs so you can access it on your phone when away from home

Why not use cloudflare with client certs?

I’m pretty sure that’s their plan tbh but damn it I don’t wanna wait! Lol

I really want to see if someone comes out with a dock which has a better speaker. Something you can just pop the voice preview hardware on top of would be nice

Man, I hope someone designs a dock for this with a better speaker for music!!!

I ordered some I have 4 other PCBs

My main problem with this is that the speaker isn’t as loud as with the original board…

I also suggest inovelli, they’re solid

You should probably also sync them. I use orbital sync for this. https://github.com/mattwebbio/orbital-sync

I had no idea about the esp32-box until I saw this project… Immediately bought 2 right after lol

Honestly even from the demo it didn’t look that jank! But you’re probably right, it’s going to be a solid addition once it matures a bit.

Hopefully the home assistant team and the willow team works on closer integration

Have you run into any issues with willow?
