Today i installed

Piper+Whisper+ChatGPT 3.5 turbo

Its crazy how it works. it even knows the entities without any configuration, smart.

read a bit about local ai model, but skipped the plan for now.
looks like these LMA text models need lot of ram to run. my HA tinybox only have 4GB. need to find a machine with 4 slots first, then put 4x16gb or more in it (what i can get for cheap) to test.
so for now chatgpt api should be fine. fired some commands, wasted 1 cent already



have you tried local lma ?

 

[David L]

Yeah, I like the idea of local AI. Have to admit, Google/Alexa did a good job in answering questions and bring info to us. Just hate their data banking and invasion of privacy. I know it is hard to get away from all of this without unplugging but I am still trying...

@duplo
So what mic/speaker are you using? I have noticed my Box-3 has to be rebooted alot, I may just need new firmware...

Looks like the GPT AI is too dumb.

i have several bathrooms on different floors, it knows that i have a bathroom in second floor, but i only have a bathtube in the other.
so it tries to turn on entities for things that does not exist and also the entities does not exist.

disappointing

also if i ask "has the bathtube a seperate light" it turns the light on , but i didnt ask for it

Seems like the best set up would be to just buy a small speaker and attach this device to the back where it can't be seen.
