@ggiesen Agreed. Home Assistant integration is a big part of why I wanted one too. I only lost one to Mycroft going under, but still grates. That being said, Neon and OVOS are still developing and #HomeAssistant is really pushing on their "Year of the Voice". I'm hoping that the updates HA makes with the #YearOfTheVoice will make things easier assistants like #NeonAI to integrate. I could be completely wrong about that, but it seems like having some of this stuff built in will ease the load.

Got the new version of #NeonAI installed on my #Mark2. Neon is just a touch too heavy for the hardware in the Mark2. I've heard you can upgrade the Pi to a model with more RAM and supposedly that makes a huge difference. If you can get a Pi. I'm hoping when they get around to a Pi 5 :raspberrypi: it'll keep close enough to the same form factor that it can be dropped into the Mark2. It would be really nice to give it a bit more oomph.

Ooo, just got notified that the new #NeonAI Version 2.0 is available for my #Mycroft #Mark2 That's super exciting. I can't wait to try it out!

@homeassistant Hopefully you guys can succeed where @mycroft_ai didn't (I'm still waiting on my Mycroft unit). Have you guys considered teaming up with #NeonAI or @ovos?

This is an interesting development from #RaspberryPi. From the sounds of things I don't think it's going to have any impact on availability or the current crop of SBCs. The focus on AI could point to a Pi5 with potentially specialized processors for artificial intelligence? If so, that could be a boon for projects I'm constantly shilling for, like #NeonAI. Fingers crossed!

Singularly failing at my "unpack first" policy. So far I've opened the mail and done laundry - which led to setting up the Chromecast Audio and currently working on setting up the #mycroft with #neonai...

So far my relationship with #mycroft running #neonai is going great! I wish it had #homeassistant support

@jawsh Hell, it would be super cool just to have a #NeonAI image that would run on a PineTab. That would make a pretty cool assistant with a stupidly easy to print stand to prop up the tablet and a $99 device. I haven't looked up the specs, but I think it would be at least comparable to the current Mark2 performance wise, as that's just running on a Pi4.
