Built my own Amazon Echo with a raspberry pi because they aren't available in my country. Decided to pick up an official Echo Dot while in America but I'm too proud of my little project to tear it down and use the official thing haha

Or switch the pi to run the Google Assistant program and have both.
(And enjoy an extra ++)

@ewpratten oooo that's a good idea!

@AlmostPerfekt I don't have a link to the instructions on hand but I am sure that you can Google it or something

@AlmostPerfekt also if you have a Chromebook and you are willing at do a little bit of work to get the audio interface to work. The pi code for assistant works on a Chromebook

@AlmostPerfekt just replace the pi audio program with whatever the chrome one is. I forgot most of the details but I have successfully done it before. Also if you are looking for a challenge, add it to your system so that you can use a key combo to run it. Have fun!

@ewpratten ooooh we have a broken chromebook at the house. Maybe I can figure out how to get it running enough for that.

@ewpratten good idea! Sadly I don't have a chrome book :(

if you want Google Assistant too, check this out :

@chadd17 if I get around to it I will post the code on my GitHub. It is @ewpratten
