Alexa Show, Lenovo Smart Clock Smart Display alternative.

!Selfhosted

Im interested if people are finding anything witha similar form factor to Alexa Shows or Lenovo smart clocks that can run Linux ?

Im particularly interested in something with a decent speaker, integrated camera and display. Ideally 12v DC or POE powered.

I'm also looking for self hosted apps with pushtotalk or Dropin features.

I know I could probably cobble something together but ideally something well formed but would be cool.

What are people's thoughts / suggestions?

I'd be interested to know this also. I'd love to have a similar device that isn't constantly 'phoning home' to whatever company is selling it.

I think you can do push-to-talk/drop-in at least via tts using BroswerMods on home assistant, that would be one option.

Oh right you are talking about #texttospeach for # pushtotalk using Browser Mod smarthomescene.com/guides/brow… - For the UI interface. I was thinking more like making video call or sending a voice/video message.
