Hey #HomeAssistant gurus, looking for some ideas here. I ditched my Echo devices, and I'm looking to replace them with HA alternatives. Mainly, I just need something Bluetooth- and (preferably) Internet-enabled that I can link Spotify to, and possibly setup a timer, weather service, etc (though those last two aren't as critical).

I've never used HA before, so fire away with any suggestions! Thanks in advance!

Has anyone tried #OpenVoiceOS ? What was your impression if so?

"OpenVoiceOS is a community-driven, open-source voice AI platform for creating custom voice-controlled ​interfaces across devices with NLP, a customizable UI, and a focus on privacy and security."

(I'd like to have a #SmartSpeaker-type device, but I don't want Amazon, Google or Microsoft to listen to my home.)

Advice please on getting a #smartspeaker for my mum.
Her #eyesight is deteriorating and things like driving the LG tv by aiming a stupid pointer on the screen are infuriating.
Also just to be able to say "Call…" to make an old-school phone call would be great.
She has an Android phone and an iPad, both are becoming difficult to use.
Pointers welcome on what Apple / Google / Amazon / others can actually do to help my mum.
