Hello! I recently bought an ESP-32-S3-BOX, but haven't had time to do anything with it yet. Has anyone tried flashing this with Willow? If so, what has your experience been so far? The Github instructions seem very detailed, but once flashed...what can it do? Is it only able to control things within Homeassistant, or does it also act like a Google Home and do things like set timers and search the internet?

I have it running.

I think there was a minor issue with the GitHub instructions that I had to google the fix for (don’t remember what it is)

It can only talk to HA. So no setting timers and getting info from the internet.

Based on posts from from various Devs working on HA, I suspect something will get announced on July 20ths Year of the Voice - Chapter 3 stream.

If I had to put money on it I bet they announce some new ESPHOME features or something for hardware setup.
