I have Voice PE working to an extent. It will wake with the wake phrase and take commands to turn on/off devices, but I'd like it to do more. It can't even respond to "What is the weather outside?".

you can add custom commands. however by default its very limited. if you want it to be able to interact more naturally then you will have to add a llm conversation agent to it. which will give it a more complex "brain"

it depends if you want to go fully local or use an online service i guess.
do you have any local llm stuff set up?

the 1050ti with 4g of vram might be able to squeeze a small model on it but reaalsitcally you probably would want something newer or look for an online solution

that would give you some more options. it wont be the quickest responder but with a small model you should be able to get some more natural interactions
although i dont know about gpu drivers and running ollama on unraid. you might want to look into that a bit

Honestly I just want it to mimic Google Assistant as best as possible. My Google Home devices have gotten more stupid over the years. All I do is ask it to turn on/off devices, status of some devices (like what the thermostat temp is set to or what state cooling/heating), what the weather is, and the occasional question it has to search the internet for.
I'll explore options, thank you for pointing me in the right direction
