Accentio EXA Home, Kiosko
Summary
EXA Home, Kiosko is a personal DIY edge AI project (Raspberry Pi + touchscreen + Flutter Pi UI + 3D-printed enclosure designed in Fusion 360) that replaces Alexa / Google Home with a self-owned home automation assistant. Doubles as end-to-end validation of EXA as the agentic AI brain, integrated with Home Assistant, custom MCP servers for container self-management, multi-agent orchestration, and Notion as the human-in-the-loop surface.
Highlights
- Replaces Alexa / Google Home dependency with a self-owned voice + touchscreen assistant by combining wake-word detection, voice pipeline, LLM-with-tools, Home Assistant integration, and a 3D-printed enclosure on Raspberry Pi. — Full DIY edge AI stack with no cloud activation dependency or vendor lock-in
- Validates EXA's full agentic stack end-to-end by running it on edge hardware where EXA serves as the brain and personality for the home assistant. — 1 personal kiosk validates EXA platform for real residential use
- Lets the assistant self-manage its own runtime on the Pi through custom MCP servers for container ops (logs, restart, deploy, healthcheck) via OpenClaw. — Agent manages its own Docker container without human intervention
- Minimizes cost and latency through intelligent LLM routing: small / edge models for light tasks, cloud LLMs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI) for reasoning-heavy work. — Mixed edge + cloud routing balances cost, latency and reasoning quality
- Coordinates sub-agents through a multi-agent system (parent + sub-agents, shared memory with task graph, message channels). — 1 orchestration pattern supports parallel sub-agent execution and recovery
- Gives humans real-time visibility and control through Notion API as the human-in-the-loop surface (live backlog, audit, manual task assignment). — Notion serves as live mission-control board for the agent system
- Keeps activation fully local through trained edge ML models (wake word + VAD) running on the Pi without cloud roundtrip. — Always-on listening with zero cloud activation latency
- Operates 24/7 unattended through systemd services, watchdog supervision and proactive MQTT messaging. — 24/7 reliable residential operation
- Co-built hardware and software: custom enclosure designed in Fusion 360 and FDM-printed, paired with Flutter Pi UI on Linux headless. — End-to-end DIY: industrial design + 3D print + edge AI software stack
