The HE forum software just notified me that a link I posted in 2019 (below) is popular. Some of the current interest may be driven by Amazon's recent dropping of their List Api for Alexa skills which caused several popular 3rd party services (ex: ToDoist) to lose voice control.

I think for thousands of dollars i will just. Disassemble a home pod and glue the speakers and microphones to a speaker grill and mount it in the wall.

I currently use HomePods to do voice commands. I’m looking for something a little more visually aesthetic. I was thinking of something that i could embed into the wall or ceiling like a speaker. Would also love it if this device did not need internet access to handle the voice control. Does anyon…
