About this app

Transform any Android tablet into a powerful voice-controlled smart home hub.

DashVoice brings voice control to your wall-mounted tablets. Simply say "Hey Jarvis" and control your entire smart home - no cloud services, no subscriptions, complete privacy.

WHY DASHVOICE?

We built DashVoice because we wanted something that didn't exist: a voice-enabled tablet dashboard for Home Assistant that respects your privacy.

For years, we used Fully Kiosk Browser to display Home Assistant dashboards on wall-mounted tablets. It was great for showing dashboards, but it couldn't do the one thing we really wanted - voice control.

We wanted to say "Hey Jarvis, turn on the lights" and have it just work. No cloud. No monthly fees. No sending our voice to big tech companies.

So we built DashVoice.
