How it works
This Reachy Mini app uses ESPHome protocol to communicate with Home Assistant — no ESPHome device needed. Home Assistant discovers it via mDNS and adds all 45+ entities automatically. Voice commands are processed by your Home Assistant instance — STT, intent recognition, and TTS all happen there.
