Oh didn't know there are more projects like this. Your's says it's an SDK. So I have to develop everything by myself? The other one seems to be ready to use. Do I assume this correctly?

It's being worked on, will require a PCB replacement though: https://github.com/iMike78/nest-mini-drop-in-pcb

The home mini is already available from the same creator.

That's really cool, but $85 to repurposed an existing piece of hardware vs the Home Assistant Voice PE at $69 is tough to swallow.

Well, to be fair, these have much better speakers than the PE. That's the only reason I want it over the PE, since most of what I'd do is play music with it.

I promise I read through the git readme twice before asking: where did you find the $85 price?
