The full story
The maker put a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W into an AliExpress MacClock and used it to replace their Alexa with Home Assistant. It reads out and displays the weather and can add to, remove from and email the shopping list, the only two things they used the Alexa for.
They say the entire thing was written with Claude. Because the cheap TFT screen can't turn its backlight off, they made small Macintosh images to show when the Pi is thinking and a sleeping one for when it is idle.
