Home Assistant is excellent at local home automation. It will sit between Domovoy and supported devices.
Home Assistant runs the home
Home Assistant brings devices from many manufacturers into one system. It discovers devices, runs automations, tracks energy, and favors local integrations when devices offer them.
Voice Preview Edition has open hardware and software, a physical microphone cut-off switch, and a choice of local or cloud speech components.
Local voice, your way
Home Assistant documents a focused local speech path for modest hardware and a more flexible path that needs substantially more compute. The owner chooses the language, hardware, and pipeline.
It is a good fit for people who want to assemble and tune their own automation system.
Domovoy adds the person
Home Assistant will be Domovoy's device boundary. Domovoy will keep identity, private per-person memory, AI Passport access, permission checks, confirmation, revocation, and receipts in its own control plane.
Home Assistant knows how to control a device. Domovoy knows who is asking and what that person allowed. The model receives no broad Home Assistant credential.
Use Home Assistant by itself for owner-built automation. Add Domovoy for a finished personal-assistant experience with private memory and governed action.
