    Is there any quality, real open-source speakers? Or it’s way better not bother with it and get dumb speakers and an SBC?

      I don’t use OpenHAB or Home Assistant, but I’d be extremely surprised if they don’t have existing functionality for connecting microphones, speakers, and LLMs to set up voice-controlled stuff.
