This is really cool!
Does anyone know if there's a way to hack an Echo Dot and use it as the speaker/mic for Rhasspy? Rolling out our own hardware that is as effective as a Dot would probably be very difficult?
- prpl 7y agoI was looking up this today without much luck, I’d actually like to try to use either the echo dot or google home for generic videoconferencing (zoom)
- gibolt 7y agoDo they have a web browser? Since they run Android,I assume there is hope to get it open.
- jedieaston 7y agoIdk if this is something that’d interest you, but you can use Alexa for Business in AWS for $3 per month and link your echo to zoom.
- vineyardmike 7y agoShort answer: Nope. Long Answer: Not even kinda close to a way to do this, that hardware is locked down good. If you can brute force the key that locks the adb/fastboot then you have a chance. Some of the echo's run android, so you'd need to make Rasspy run on android for those versions of the echo. Alternatively, you'd have to find the versions of the echo that runs a proper linux flavor, you might have a chance there. If you really start messing with the operating system or system software, you have to make sure that you can access the mics in software. (some of) their mic array and ADC array feature FPGAs that handle audio manipulation, so you'd need drivers/whatever to interface with those.
