I'm working right now on adding voice control to Home Assistant: https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2022/12/20/year-of-voice/

Our goal is local voice control of your devices in your native language (no Internet required). Hardware is still an open question, but I believe we will succeed due to our focus on a limited domain (IoT) and large open source community.

I'm a home assistant user that's been following along with the year of voice. I played a little with Almond and some with Rhasspy; what's the best way to get up and running right now? I've been using my arch desktop with a mic (running through pipewire) as my primary hardware, not scared of deploying to a pi or similar but I don't have one to spare right now.
