I want to make my own home assistant voice device.
It would run on a pi4 with a touch screen attached to it with a usb mic and speaker. this pi isnt running the home assistant server however. so is this possible to do? and if so how could this be done (setting it up with home assistant and the ui). any hardware changes are also apperciated :)

#

also, is the pi 4 4gb enough?

THIS is what you want for making a linux system a voice satellite.
Whilst I would not suggest running the HA server on thee same system. in order to do it you would want to install a standard OS and then run a container install of HA in docker alongside your other stuff. you cannot do this using HAOS.
4gb is probably enough for running either the server OR the voice/touchscreen setup but NOT both.

I have notes on what hardware I recommend for hosting Home Assistant HERE
