Hey @Unixbigot !
I wondered what that multi-microphone home assistant module was as per #EverythingOpen presentation? Went and installed #HomeAssistant didn't I? Can give it up any time I like...
@vik I've been using a little portable bluetooth speaker (via its line-in mode), because I had a bunch of them lying about, but the particular model appears to be no longer on sale.

Our team is going through the #EverythingOpen#survey feedback as part of our debrief process tonight, and we wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who responded.
Your frank, open comments, and warm messages of thanks to our team and volunteers are very much appreciated - and will help with planning for Everything Open 2025.

I'm in...
Totally hooked on Professor @aquigley#keynote at #EverythingOpen today - it's all about #interfaces and #HCI - and about #sensors - and how they can be used for secondary purposes to those originally designed - and at the end of the day we are all #human - and this limits the attention we have for input.
Super interesting!
