Yesterday I got my Home Assistant Voice!
This is a Non-Cloud solution like Alexa and Google devices.
I only could play with it for a few minutes because I was working on Arduino code with an ILI9341 Display and a BME280 (Temperature/Humidity/Air pressure).
Today I got some new goodies in, one of these is a LilyGO LoRa display which works on 433 Mhz.
I flashed OpenMQTTGateway on this device.
In the past, I posted about the RFCOM Gateway using Domoticz.
This runs on a Raspberry Pi.
While looking for alternatives, I found a rtl-sdr solution.

Using this:
But I liked the ESP32 solution more.
Now I can dismantle Domoticz, which served me well for many years.
Note: This is a receiver device only!
But I only use read-only sensors like : Door/window, doorbell, temperature/humidity and Firesensors.
These are automatically detected in Home Assistant.
No more RFXCOM with a Raspberry.
