Home Assistance Voice & Ollama Setup Guide - The Ultimate Local LLM Solution!

A couple weeks ago I showed off this, the Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition, an ESP32 based smart speaker that if set up to use Whisper and Piper handles voice commands and home automation fully locally through Home Assistant. It’s amazing, but the one thing that’s missing is a proper conversation agent. Sure, asking it to turn your lights on, or set timers is useful, but being able to ask it questions and get answers would be really nice. That is where Ollama comes in. Ollama is an open source way to run large language models locally, and it turns out it’s ridiculously easy to set up and connect to Home Assistant Voice, so let me walk you through it, then demo just how useful it is.
