Yeah I have been and am super excited to get into it once I upgrade my homeserver, but my issue is the hardware devices. The ease of speaking into the void to set timers and get news, the intuitive Ring camera that automatically sends push notifications on movement detection. Idk how to replace these.
Home assistant has been working hard on voice assistants. I haven't set one up yet, but I believe it's pretty simple to get going. You may need to get comfy with esp32.
Maybe take a look at cheap ESP mics such as the one mentioned here, being cheap so you can have many scattered around is their whole thing. Sound quality isn't great but if it's mostly for input it can work. Not sure if replicating the Ring notifications is feasible.
