Tater – Tater v42
🥔 Tater v42 is LIVE — and it’s got a potato-powered stopwatch in its pocket!
Say hello to Device-Local Voice PE Timers — no HA, no websockets, no flakiness. Just pure ESPHome magic running right on your Voice PE device.
✨ What’s new?
- Timers run locally — even if HA crashes or your Wi-Fi dies.
- Smooth LED countdowns with a visual progress ring (no lag, just vibes).
- Priority ringing that actually rings — no more silent alarms.
- New HA entities: 🕒 Number input for duration, ▶️ Start / ❌ Cancel buttons.
- Tater plugin? Just say “Set a timer for 5 minutes” — and it happens.
🔗 Required: Update your Voice PE with the new ESPHome config:

(Old configs? Timers vanish. Don’t be that guy.)
💡 Why it’s genius:
HA = remote control. Voice PE = timer boss.
No cloud. No magic. Just a potato with a stopwatch. 🥔⏱️
Assist-based timers? Still there. Just… not the star anymore.
Tater’s motto:
> Local first. Device owned. Potato approved.
