Any experiences with a self-hosted assistant like the modern Google Assistant? Looking for something LLM-powered that is smarter than older assistants that would just try to call 3rd party tools directly and miss or misunderstand requests half of the time.
I’d like integration with a mobile app to use it from the phone and while driving. I see Home Assistant has an Android Auto integration. Has anyone used this, or another similar option? Any blatant limitations?


Home Assistant can absolutely do that. If you are ok with simple intent based phrasing it’ll do it out of the box. If you want complex understanding and reasoning you’ll have to run a local LLM, like Llama, on top of it
yeah, that’s what I’m looking for. Do you know of a way to integrate ollama with HA?
I don’t think there’s a straightforward way like a HACS integration yet, but you can access it from the web and save the page to your homepage?
There’s an Ollama integration that adds it as a conversation agent.
ah, this puts it together and it’s exactly what I was looking for, thanks
And there’s another custom component, intrgrating all servers which offer an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. That one also works well: https://github.com/jekalmin/extended_openai_conversation
