Writing Alexa or Google Home skills is not easy, their voices are impersonal, and we never know what they gossip elsewhere. Also, the devices are not funny looking.
We will build a system which, when triggered by MQTT, plays voice messages. It uses a JQ6500 sound module which can play mp3 files. A PAM8304 and an ESP8266 (also an ESP32 would be good) is also part of the design. The software is written in the Arduino IDE
