FutureProofHomes Satellite1 Voice Assistant available for preorder

I had been following this project a while back. It's using the same PE that Nabu does. It does have some benefits in some areas although outside having 4 mics and a 25W amp the rest are pretty user specific like mmwave, light sensor and some other sensors. There are 2 parts, the main board and the ESP32 HAT.

The one advantage of having the ESP32 separate is he said it could be upgraded so when say, the P4 works in ESPHome, you could buy a new HAT. It's going to be a while before that happens, C6 and H2 still aren't available in ESPHome.

Only available for preorder in the US for now and doesn't ship until January but thought people might want to take a look. He also mentioned a dedicated AI box in the future although at one point I saw a Jetson sitting out so it could just be a preconfigured Jetson variant or left out to throw people off.
