#Where can I order Voice Assistant shipping to Switzerland

I only see one website in Switzerland
Okay thx. Do you know when they will be available again
Not really. Likely in January or February.
It does not work on its own. It needs a working HA instance on another device.
So I need like the Green or Yellow device?
Neither nor.
You need to run HA somewhere
You can have your own, like a Raspberry.
So can I buy a Rasperry PI and run Home Assistant + Voice there or buy Rasperry PI + Voice Assistant Device?
There are many ways to run home assistant and to build a device that support voice assistant
You need separate devices
HA server is separate device (or virtual machine, anyways)...
Voice satellite is separate device (each of them, if you want several).
What's so confusing?
So what would recommend me? Should I do it on a Rasperry Pi and buy a Voice Assistant Device?
I think I wil buy a Rasperry PI and set it up there
It means that it cannot run separately (without a HA instance) nor can it act as your HA server. You dont need a separate HA instance for it - you just need a HA instance.
What would you recommend to use as a HA Instance
It sounds like Green is the right answer for you
While Green is fast start, it won't cope good with Assist (especially with Whisper). I'd recommend something beefier for that. But looks like OP is pretty tech-unsavvy, so there will be struggle.
Another option would be to use Nabu Casa Cloud, but it's subscription based, and although it's great way to support devs, maybe it's stopping factor for OP.
Green + VoicePE + NC Cloud would be the best experience for the OP for the price
Yes, just needs mentioning restrictions (like, it won't work without internet, and requires subscription).
Thx guys
