Almond is open sourced privacy preserving virtual assistant (something like Alexa or Google Assistant) and it just got better with its latest release. In this video/article I’m going to install Almond in Home Assistant to control my devices there, I will show you where to configure USB mic and USB Speakers to have a full smart speaker experience and I will also enable some Almond skills including Spotify skill. Coming up!
