PlatformWebfree

EchoLocal is an open-source, pure-Go firmware replacement that turns a 2nd-generation Amazon Echo Dot into a fully local Home Assistant voice satellite, media player, and Bluetooth proxy, with no Amazon account or cloud involved. It supports on-device wake words and exposes the device's LED ring and unused light sensor to Home Assistant. It is aimed at Home Assistant users who want to repurpose old Echo Dot hardware for local, private voice control.
