While we are on the subject of home assistants, are there any privacy-respecting open source ones?

I've been waiting to get the v2 model, but it's taking so long I might make my own with a raspberry pi and their software.
It still uses proprietary recognition servers...
I thought they wrote their own STT engine? Guess it was a TTS though.
After looking it up I do see what you're talking about though. They say they proxy everything so your IP doesn't touch the Google servers. But I also see you can run your own Mozilla DeepSpeech & use that instead, which seems like a decent option. It's just not the default.
Yes, it somewhat works, but it's super fiddly and you have to provide your own pretrained models etc.
