A hackable AI home assistant platform that replaces the internals of a Google Nest Mini with a custom ESP32-S3 PCB, paired with a server that handles speech transcription (Whisper), LLM response generation, and text-to-speech. It includes firmware, server code, and PCB design files, though the project is deprecated in favor of onju-v2.

Use cases

  • build a DIY smart speaker with local Whisper transcription
  • voice-control Home Assistant lights with an LLM
  • add and retrieve voice notes via a chatbot
  • hack a Nest Mini into a custom AI assistant
  • run a self-hosted voice assistant server for multiple devices
  • experiment with conversational LLM hardware

When to choose

  • you want an open, hackable hardware voice assistant with full source and PCB files
  • you want local speech-to-text with Whisper and LLM-generated spoken replies
  • you're comfortable with Arduino IDE firmware flashing and running a Python server

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained, production-ready home assistant
  • you want a drop-in commercial smart speaker without soldering or PCB ordering
  • you need multi-voice character support or complex multi-function calling
