    The only viable option that I found that could reliably infer commands from speech is https://github.com/Picovoice/rhino

    Unfortunately it is not open source (the GitHub just has binary blobs) and requires an account to log in to generate and download model files, but the accuracy is great and you can use it to send commands to Home Assistant to turn lights on/off etc.
