Ask HN: Hackable Alternative for Alexa / Echo Show?
You need a Raspberry Pi with respeaker microphone. Many assistants to install around - for example https://github.com/iamsrp/dexter and many more.
Whisper is a bit slow on RPI and not working well for short phrases. It is more focused on long transcription like podcasts. You can try Vosk instead https://github.com/alphacep/vosk-api

Is there such a thing as a self-hosted Alexa that runs on a server, and has low power devices like an Amazon Alexa subscribe to that service?
You can install the Selene backend (https://github.com/mycroftai/selene-backend) and do everything locally if you wish.

Shouldn't Mycroft be on awesome-selfhosted?
you could run https://github.com/MycroftAI/selene-backend and the matching frontend project yourself, if one was so inclined. You'd need to tinker with the mycroft configuration ofcourse.
