TECHO5 is open firmware for the Echo Show 5 that replaces Android and Alexa with Alpine Linux, turning the device into a local, touchscreen-equipped voice satellite for Home Assistant with on-device wake word detection and over-the-air updates. It's aimed at privacy-conscious smart-home hobbyists who want to repurpose Echo Show hardware without depending on Amazon's cloud.
