Build the Satellite1 Together
Leider warte ich immernoch auf die Ware :-)
documentation incomplet and only English
no internet radio audio not hard
It's a great put together kit, only downside is we all tend to fight with the wake words. Any wake word and any setting, be it more/less gain, confidence levels, etc. I have to shout at it, and the moment there is background noise, you haven't a hope.
I got the speakers though, and 3d printed my own enclosure. The sound quality is great, although it doesn't mute and at mute it still loud enough to be my alarm clock.
All in all, a few rough edges, but I am sure some firmware tweaks will really make this thing shine! After buying one, I bought another four, so I didn't let these issues stop me.
Works great
I've built a lot of stuff. Rarely does something go together as easily as the Satellite1 speaker using this kit, the 3D print files, and the speaker kit.
