What is voice-satellite-card-integration?

Voice Satellite is a Home Assistant integration that turns any tablet, phone, or browser window into a hands-free voice assistant, similar to Alexa or Google Home, but running entirely on your own hardware with no cloud dependency. You install it via HACS (the Home Assistant community store), and once configured, any browser pointed at your Home Assistant becomes a listening device that responds to a wake word ("Okay Nabu," "Hey Jarvis," or your own custom word), processes speech through Home Assistant's Assist pipeline, and displays visual responses on screen. Wake word detection runs entirely in the browser using one of two on-device AI models: microWakeWord (a lightweight JavaScript version that works on any device) or openWakeWord (WebGPU-accelerated for better accuracy). You can run two wake words simultaneously and route each to a different Assist pipeline, useful if your household mixes languages or wants one pipeline using a local AI and another using a cloud service. Beyond voice commands, the integration exposes the browser as a media player device so automations can push audio announcements, camera streams, or video to the screen. Eight visual themes are built in (including Alexa and Google Home style skins), and a screensaver mode keeps the display looking clean when not in use while keeping the microphone active. An experimental add-on supports LLM-powered web, image, weather, and stock searches with visual result panels. Requires Home Assistant 2025.2.1 or later.
