Ivan Todorov<p>Using Home Assistant OS, I wired up Whisper for speech recognition, Piper for voice responses, and Ollama for the LLM brain — all running on my own machines, stitched together with the Wyoming protocol. I could literally talk to my smart home, and it talked back.

Stefano Marinelli<p>Ever since I hung the Ruckus on the wall, all peripheral coverage issues disappeared. At that point, I decided to try re-hanging the old MikroTik cAP AC (with the wave2 drivers) in the same spot to compare. <br>All in all, it performs well there too, and all devices remain stably connected, albeit with a lower signal level. I imagine, however, that if there were 40 devices, I'd already see some differences.</p><p>Now I'm curious to test a cAP AX...🤣</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Ruckus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ruckus</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Mikrotik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mikrotik</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Homelab</span></a></p>
