YandexStation is a Home Assistant custom component that integrates Yandex-branded smart speakers and other devices with Alice into a unified smart home automation environment. It supports both local and cloud control, depending on the device type, with Yandex speakers often supporting both modes and third-party speakers typically limited to cloud control. The integration exposes playback and volume controls, as well as text-to-speech capabilities that send spoken messages in Alice’s voice directly to the speakers. ...

...It exposes parameters for input text, voice selection, audio format, and playback speed, mirroring the OpenAI interface while mapping popular OpenAI voice names to equivalent Edge voices. Because it relies on Edge’s TTS, the audio generation itself is free, and the project essentially acts as a smart proxy that handles formatting and streaming. The server supports Server-Sent Events (SSE) for streaming audio, enabling low-latency playback in chat UIs and other interactive tools. A Docker image is provided for one-command deployment, and environment variables can be used to configure default voice, language, response format, authentication, and logging options.

wukong-robot is a Chinese voice assistant / smart speaker project built to let makers and hackers design highly customizable voice-controlled devices.
