2023.5: Let’s talk!

What an exciting release we have for you this month! This release is all about voice (well, almost fully), and I’m super excited we can ship you all this truly amazing stuff! I’ve been following the progress of this all being built this month, and really, I’ve been mindblown multiple times a week. So what’s in here? Well, you can now actually talk to Home Assistant!

I really appreciate that all these voice elements have been built the Home Assistant way: to be fully configurable and extendable. Giving you choices, including entirely local options for your own voice assistant. This release is packed! And we are not even halfway through Home Assistant’s Year of the voice yet… Enjoy the release!
