For those of us still impatiently waiting, what is your experience so far with “Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition”?

—- I ordered just 2 hours in but the vendor I used sold out in 21 minutes. I just found out I also missed the restock, so hopefully some time next month.

    I have it. If i say Basement lights off, it takes 15 seconds and 70% of the time says Sorry I couldn’t understand. My kid thinks it is very funny tho.

      Bummer. That’s one of my primary uses for Alexa, that I’d like to fix.

      • if I ask Alexa, it reacts right away, faster than walking over to the switch, especially when I specify a dimmer setting
      • if I ask Alexa on my thermostat, it’s damn slow to respond and sometimes misses, but the trick is leaving enough time after calling her name
