I'll prefix this post with the obligatory 'Nothing is confirmed until official announcements are made," but back when the SkyConnect came out, I placed a watch on Nabu Casa's FCC applications through fccid.io. Today, I got an email alerting me that a FCC application was filed for a new piece of equipment named "Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition." Luckily, the application has photos of the device's exteriors, and it also indicates that the device will have WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. Can't say I've been following the Home Assistant too closely for awhile, but it seems like there hasn't been any mention of this hardware before.

This device was filed under the FCC ID "2A8ZE-02" if anyone else wants to dig-into this. Below are links to FCC reporting websites, the photos above were taken from fcc.gov. I'm excited if this means Home Assistant is producing a first-party voice assistant accessory! I'm curious what the community thinks of this too.
