Partial The Android app, Home Assistant integration, and STT plumbing are vibe-codeable, but reliable on-device wake-word detection on old hardware needs model work and audio-pipeline tuning.
What it would actually take: A real version needs an Android app running an ONNX wake-word model (openWakeWord-style), a streaming audio pipeline with low-latency capture, and integration with Home Assistant's Assist satellite protocol. The hard part is training or tuning a wake-word model that performs well on weak microphones and older CPUs, which requires some speech-ML expertise and device testing.
