Yeah it's pretty cool, and 2023 was when they committed to solidifying voice commands. They post regular updates on their blog https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/ there are some pretty awesome posts detailing each step of the way
I'm not actually a user of Home Assistant, as I live in a poor country and getting the equipment to setup a smart house is very expensive lol but I did look into it at the beginning of the year and their focus on finally getting voice work done was what interested me the most

Thanks! Now I remember seeing that project before, but had already forgotten about it.

What technology do you REFUSE to adopt?

I would be ok with Alexa like device that is local, does not connect to third party servers for everything, unless I command it do to it, like "google something for me". Something like Siri offline mode, but open source.
