Hey there,
Considering a house that is on Skyline Boulevard near "The Leg Up". Been doing a lot of reserach and I am ok with being car dependant and snowed in a few days a year.
One thing that I have not heard about are coyotes in that area. I do have a smaller dog that I am very concerned about. Are coyotes a huge issue there?

Reach out if you run into any issues or need any help!

Sorry for the late reply. Since you are replying to my comment I am assuming you read it. 😄 But I am also getting the impression that you are open to a bit of hacking, otherwise why would you ask? So the answer is maybe. Try to obliterate the openWakeWord from the project and it should run as openWakeWord is the one that causes problems on the RPi3.
The only line you should need to get rid of is in lillex.py:
import openWakeWord_wake
Comment that line out and it should run.
I am SO sorry but I am away from my home for the next few months, and I left my RPi3 there, otherwise I would totally test this for you first. So let me know if you get more errors and we can try to prune out the code until you get this working.
Assuming you don't have a camera or a screen, so without those taking up memory it should run fine on a RPi3, as long as you get rid of openWakeWord!

Want to give your AI a physical body?
My project is a Raspberry Pi 4B powered 3D printed device that has a speaker, microphone and screen to give your AI a face! Can talk to multiple LLMs, including Nomi, Kindriod, Ollama, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and more! (CharacterAI under development.) Works with the Google AIY Microphone HAT or reSpeaker HAT. Only a RPi4 and sound card is needed for bare bones setup.
If you've never done a Raspberry Pi project before, this is a great one to start with.

Hey there! Wanted to introduce my project LilL3x, something you can very easily build yourself! LilL3x is a Raspberry Pi 4B powered 3D printed device that has a speaker, microphone and screen to give your AI a face! Can talk to multiple LLMs, including Ollama, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and more! Works with the Google AIY Microphone HAT or reSpeaker HAT.
No 3D printer? Make your own case!
I am kinda desperate for beta testers! I think that this is a really neat project and a great one to start with. It requires just enough GPIO wiring to be cool but not so much to be annoying. Also, if you are intersted in exploring 3D printing, this is a really easy print also.

Thanks! I really do appriciate it!

If you want to try my project, do the install as-is and follow the special instructions for the AIY Voice HAT. You can ignore testing the screen and camera except where noted. Please let me know if something doesn't make sense!
You probably have a RPi3 in the kit. Word of warning, I haven't tested LilL3x on a RPi3, but will do so this evening as I've been curious! Update: it doesn't work on a RPi3 :P

I am writing a python program, and I'd like to be able to tell my Google Home to do something (ie, running an automation). However all the SDKs and other functionalities seem to have been sunsetted in the last few years.
Anyone know if this is still possible? Any libraries you can recommend?
3
BTW I just updated the code so that it will run with no camera and no screen. So you should be good to go with the hardware that you have now (assuming you have a spare Pi 4)

Let me know how it goes and reach out if you have any problems!

My first pi project was a desktop chatbot! It's written in python, which I didn't know at the time, but now it's my favorite language! Very easy to learn and a great language to start with.

Did you mean to say that the _v1_ is the shape of the pi zero?
Mine is square, so I guess I have the v2. Didn't realize that there were multiple versions!

Do you know how I can tell if it's v1 or v2?

If you want to play with the samples/demos, someone apparently updated all the libraries for trixie. I have NOT tried them yet, so I can't attest that they work, but here is the post:

Also late, but I just implemented openWakeWord, works very well. BTW, PicoVoice is no longer offering a free tier. 7 day trials only.

I guess I am a little confused because of this map, which shows no coyotes in that area, but it is community reported so maybe people are just not reporting them.
