I have a couple of Pi Zeros around the house I use as media players. They were running piCorePlayer. I replaced just the software with a vanilla Pi OS and installed Squeezelite and then Wyoming Satellite. I added a microphone and an automation to silence the media player as soon as a wake word is detected.

Voice recognition is adequate but I wish it was smarter.

(I should finish that blog post...)

I used to have a Ring and became concerned about privacy once Amazon took over. Worse, all it used to capture was delivery people's backs - by the time it would see motion the action was almost over. That's when it captured anything at all - it used to miss a lot.

Reolink doesn't require any Internet access - even for initial setup. People detection works great with Frigate and you can tell it to start recording before motion is detected so you don't miss anything.

Full disclosure, it does take some fiddling to get it working reliably. I still don't have 2 way audio working.

The Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3a both support eSIM.

(The Pixel 2 sort of did but only for Google Fi.)

The Pixel 3 briefly supported DSDS (pSIM+ eSIM) in a beta but it was removed before general release.

Pixel 3a was the first Pixel to officially support DSDS.

"The open source part of iVentoy" is on GitHub. Perhaps it's not completely open?
