Home Intent is an open source locally hosted intent handler. Using Rhasspy and integrating with Home Assistant it functions as an easy-to-use voice assistant for your home.

We have some ideas around more integrations, if you have any suggestions, feel free to throw it in the GitHub Discussions.
Home Intent wants to avoid the problem of asking for a light to turn on and only one bulb in a fixture turns on because the fuzzy match picked the wrong thing. By integrating directly between Home Assistant and Rhasspy with easy customizations, Home Intent has better control over the entity and voice systems so voice interactions work more reliably.
Home Intent now supports translations, but we don't have any yet! If you know a little python and want to help out, feel free to read up on translating components and lend a hand!
